How Deep Space Tools came to be

I've always been the type of person who questions how things actually work, and not just in the sky. My background started in electrical theory, plus a whole lot of dealing with weights, forces, and the kind of hands-on problem solving where you can't afford to be wrong. That curiosity eventually pulled me into physics and, naturally, astrophotography.

When I first started trying to photograph deep sky objects, I realized something quickly: this hobby is unbelievably complex. Every camera, every lens, every mount, every sky condition, every tiny variable affects the result. And for beginners, it feels like you're dropped into a maze where everything is expensive, technical, and scattered across dozens of forums, videos, and half-answers.

I built Deep Space Tools because I wish something like this existed when I started.

I wanted a place where people could get clear, simple, copy-and-paste setups based on their actual gear and location—without needing to decode astrophotography like it's a graduate level thesis. (I have no idea what that's actually like; I didn't need to go to college.) Something that shows you what settings to use, what to look for, what matters, and what doesn't... so you can spend less time cursing and more time capturing the sky.

For me, deep sky photography isn't about taking pictures. It's about capturing a moment in the universe that may never exist again.

If Deep Space Tools helps you do that—if it makes the learning curve lighter, the frustration smaller, or the results better—then it's doing its job.
