Hello everyone,
My name is Kartik. I am an amateur astrophotographer from Perth. I am very fortunate to have decent skies and weather - albeit still light polluted. The good thing about Perth is the nearest dark sky site is not too far away.
However, I mostly do Narrowband imaging from my Bortle 5/6 backyard. My interests are Deep sky targets. Of late, I am learning Solar and Lunar too.
I have had an interest in the night sky since childhood. However I am new to the astrophotography hobby and have been doing this only for the last 2 years. It’s been a great and challenging journey. No other hobby combines such disparate skills such as Photography, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer sciences, mechanical work, Creative arts, and yes - Meteorology.
Among other things, I am a Medical Doctor in Intensive Care, a qualified (but not professional) Epidemiologist and Biostatistician, a Technophile, and a huge Star Trek fan.
Hope you enjoy my work and Thanks for having me.
Cheers,
Kartik
