Sky-Watcher Ambassadors

Blntpencil

For the last six years I have been designing illustrations and more recently, taking photographs of nature including sunsets, storm scapes and astrophotography. I have developed unique techniques on Adobe programs such as Lightroom, Photoshop and Illustrator to create various media forms for different clients and companies.

I sell limited edition prints nationally and internationally and have been educating photographers via private and group workshops in South Australia. My goal is showcase the beauty and unpredictability of nature and the unknown mysteries of the night sky.

Steven Morris

Steven began his passion for astrophotgraphy in 2014 capturing his first deep space image of the Trifid Nebula. Since then Steven has been hooked on astrophotography, with every photo captured he is trying to push the boundaries of his photography knowledge and skill / understanding. In 2018 Steven one his first awards for his nightscape images and in 2019 Steven won the David Malin Astrophotography awards in the nightscape category.

Since then Steven likes to inspire others in the world of astrophotography through his YouTube channel taking people on his adventures and showing how he takes his images.

Hi, I'm Wacharachat, people call me Oat which is my Thai nickname. I am based in the Sydney Hawkesbury area. I started photography in 1995 when I took up an art class in high school. From there, architecture and design related degrees helped me a lot with reading the light, symmetry and lines as well as composition. My style gravitated toward landscape, seascape, snowscape as well as off camera flash, now branching out into drones and astro. Photography allows me to be outdoors which I enjoy, even in the harshest of conditions.

I have always had an interest in photography, but what caught my attention quite a few years ago were some stunning images I saw of tidal pools. That was when I went out and bought my first DSLR. I am currently using a Canon EOS R along with RF 15-35mm f/2.8, RF 24-105mm f/4L IS, 24mm f/1.4L, 50mm f/1.2L II, 85mm f/1.8, 600EX-RT and ST-E3. A few Samyang 14mm f/2.8 and 12mm f/2.8, Sigma 14mm f/1.8.

Photography to me is a form of art that can be so personal that no one gets it, but at the same time it can also evoke feelings within the viewer. To be able to move or inspire someone gives me a great sense of achievement and inspires me to go out and push the boundaries.

I’m grateful to be able to represent brands I love and share what I’ve learnt with others.

Paul Wilson

Paul Wilson is a leading astrophotographer based in New Zealand. He is known for his bright vibrant nightscapes and a pioneer for multi row high resolution panoramas. Constantly pushing creative boundaries and planning new projects keeps Paul’s work fresh and unique.

Paul uses Sky-Watcher products under some of the clearest and darkest skies in the world. He is also a keen 4x4 enthusiast which takes him to New Zealand alpine mountain ranges and back country rivers.

When Paul is not shooting astro and landscapes he is a professional wedding photographer.

Astrophotobear

Michael Goh is a full-time photographer located in Western Australia primarily capturing astrophotography, commercial, portrait, time-lapse, photospheres, event, video and aerial work.

He received the international Photo Nightscape award 2015, Western Australian Astrofest 2014 and achieved an APOD in February 2016. He has appeared in numerous publications including photography magazines and science books and periodicals. Michael also runs photography workshops.

One of Michael’s current focuses is improving night sky appreciation and awareness and one of the projects he is working on is part of a documentary team on the night sky in Western Australia.

Phil Hart

Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, he developed a strong interest in astronomy and photography. On a student budget through school and university, he built his own Newtonian telescope which remains one of his more successful DIY projects.

As an engineer, he naturally has a strong technical approach to astrophotography and night sky photography but enjoys exploring the artistic side of the hobby as well.

Astronomy and his love of mountains and snow has significantly shaped the course of his life; a solar eclipse in Zimbabwe in 2001 became the trigger for five years living in Scotland enjoying the northern skies and an occasional aurora. Since then, aurora and eclipses have led him to capture the 'Great American Eclipse' over the Grand Tetons in Wyoming and a winter in Canada's frozen Yukon Territory among other adventures.

The same passion also underlies his move to the dark skies of central Victoria near Talbot with his partner Karen. He has one automated observatory there and is 'agisting' another for ASV colleagues.

The ephemeral nature of comets, eclipses and aurora and pushing the boundaries of their photography continues to draw Phil into new adventures, and has resulted in dramatic and widely acclaimed and admired images and videos.
