I’m Tara, a Wisconsin-based amateur astrophotographer who started my astrophotography journey in my 40s. What started with photographing the Moon quickly turned into a love for capturing the Sun, nebulae, galaxies, and more

Astrophotography is my way of getting outside, slowing down, and satisfying my lifelong curiosity about space. I love sharing what I’m learning along the way—especially the successes, the failures, and all the unpredictable Wisconsin weather in between!

I’m excited to be a Spectrum Optics Ambassador and to share my experiences, the equipment I use, and my love for astrophotography with others. My hope is to encourage more people to look up, get curious, and discover just how much is waiting for us in the night sky.
