 Welcome to our world of photography of the night skies from the Birch Mesa Observatory in Payson at the base of the Mogollon Rim, and the Clear Creek Canyon Observatory on top of the Colorado Plateau in Northern Arizona. From the stationary and Schmidt cameras, to state-of-the-art computer controlled large homebuilt astrographs, our goal is to record the endless beauty of the night sky on film, and digital detectors to share with you and others. Here you can find the best and hardest earned images that we have captured of the night sky.
