My name is Frank Ryan Jr and I'm an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer. I've been stargazing helping people get into the hobby for over 40 years. I took my first astrophotos 30 years ago in the film days and when Photoshop was a place you went to buy cameras! This channel is for anyone interested in taking photos of the nights sky, telescopes, gear reviews, astronomical events from the beginner to advanced.
