discovering astrophotography

I am a podiatrist by profession. I have always enjoyed photography, but when the world was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I developed my passion for night photography. My introduction to night photography first started with my fascination with the Northern Lights and I was more of an Aurora chaser traveling to Alaska, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland to capture the dancing lights. On one of those trips in Norway, I took a course in astrophotography and later when I captured my first Milky Way image, I was hooked.
