My name is Ryan Heuer, I am a 25-year-old tech enthusiast with a huge passion for exploring the wonders of the universe through astrophotography. My website serves as a platform to showcase my creative work and niche hobby.

I have an unwavering passion for capturing the night sky, particularly the Milky Way and the wonders beyond. There’s nothing quite like witnessing our galaxy in its vivid detail, with its colors, structure, and profound sense of scale. Visiting a dark sky park reveals a pristine and untouched sky, devoid of light pollution. It transforms into a deep, inky black canvas scattered with millions stars. Gazing up long enough, it almost feels as if you’re going to loose your balance. I highly recommend lying on your back and stare straight up, it’s an experience that one cannot forget

When embarking on my night photography adventures, I always carry my trusty Sony cameras. They excel in capturing ultra-long exposures and stacking multiple frames to enhance the details. A few crucial factors contribute to my success in achieving remarkable results: fast f/2.8 lenses, a high-resolution sensor, and low read noise. Currently, I’m using the Sony a7R III and a7R V. The “R” in their names signifies “Resolution.” The mark III boasts an impressive 42 megapixels, while the mark V surpasses that with 61 megapixels. If you’re eager to explore dark sky locations for your own night photography endeavors, I recommend visiting the nearest dark sky park [here].
