Kevin Morefield:” Finding beauty in the night sky is my passion. Reading the works of Clark and Asimov in my youth I dreamed of what was out there in space. With the technology now available to amateurs we can capture things beyond even my imagination. It’s an exciting time to be involved in astronomy! I use three QHY600M cameras and one QHY367c.
I image from an observatory in the Sierra Mountains, from my backyard in Portland Oregon, and most anywhere I can get my telescope up and running. I am available for speaking engagements on astrophotography – you will find contact info on my website.”
