Ancient Photons Astrophotography

Welcome. My name is Chad Leader - I am an astrophotographer from just outside of Washington, DC. This channel is dedicated to providing supplementary videos for blog posts on my astrophotography website. The focus will be problem solving, including processing tips and equipment issues. I use Pixinsight for a majority of my processing.
