Howdy, everyone!My name is Will Pierce, and I've been doing astrophotography for the past 2 years! Coming from a background in wildlife photography, I embarked on my deep space journey with a telephoto lens and tripod. Recently, I upgraded my gear and now utilize a tracker and guide camera, although I still need to invest in a dedicated astronomy camera. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to go out and try my new gear due to the weather conditions here in College Station, and I've also been extremely busy with my studies at Texas A&M University. Hopefully, soon I will have some clear skies and be able to test everything out! I'm very excited to be here and can't wait to learn from others and share my passion of astrophotography!

Thanks, and clear skies!
