Astrophotography, timelapse, and aurora under dark skies

My hobby revolves around the night sky and the moments that often last only seconds, yet reveal something much greater about the universe around us.
I focus primarily on astrophotography, timelapse, and aurora photography, aiming to capture motion, atmosphere, and details that are usually invisible to the naked eye.

Astrophotography allows me to explore everything from the Moon and planets to deep-sky objects such as nebulae and star clusters. Timelapse is a way to show the night in motion — rotating stars, drifting clouds, and the transition from dusk to darkness. When conditions are right, photographing the aurora is one of the most rewarding experiences: unpredictable, dynamic, and visually striking.

My gear

My setup is built with mobility, stability, and flexibility in mind, allowing me to work under dark skies and make the most of clear nights:

• Seestar S50 – a compact all-in-one telescope that makes astrophotography and observation quick and accessible
• Sony A7 III – my primary camera for astrophotography, timelapse, and aurora
• Sky-Watcher tripod with extender – provides added stability and working height
• Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi – a tracking mount for longer exposures and precise tracking
• Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED – a refractor telescope well suited for deep-sky imaging
• Sky-Watcher field flattener – ensures sharp stars across the entire frame
• Jackery Explorer 240 – portable power for reliable off-grid operation

(I previously used the Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi, which was sold after transitioning to the Seestar setup.)

Why DarkSkyCapture?

The name reflects the core of the project: a passion for dark skies and the desire to capture moments where technology and nature meet.
All content on this site is based on hands-on experience, experimentation, and many nights spent under open skies — often with cold fingers, but always with curiosity and respect for the night.
