Welcome to my Astrophotography website

My name is Hayden (Yik Hei) Chan. I capture the wonders of the night sky through deep-space imaging.

About Me

I'm a passionate astrophotographer with over 3 years of experience capturing the beauty of deep space objects. My journey began when I first saw craters on the moon with a pair of binoculars, and I've been obsessed with imaging the cosmos ever since.

From my setup, I capture galaxies millions of light-years away, colourful nebulae where stars are born, and intricate star clusters. Each image represents hours of careful planning, precise tracking, and meticulous processing.
