About
I’m V. I’m 17. I shoot the night sky, and I do it from wherever my family happens to travel.
We live nomadically. That means a different sky every few weeks: Bortle 1 sites in west Texas, summit roads in New Mexico, the path of totality in Leon, Spain. The road sets the schedule. I work around it.
What I shoot is most often deep-sky: galaxies, nebulae, the structure of the Milky Way. Eclipses when they’re in reach. I image with a refractor, an equatorial mount, a cooled monochrome astro cam, and/or a Canon DSLR.
I think differently. I’m neurodivergent, and I’ve stopped treating that like something to explain away. It’s part of how I see, including what I notice in a frame and how I sit through the long parts of this work that other people find boring. The patience this demands is, for me, the easy part.
