How an Astrophotographer Shot a Rarely Photographed Moment

"This jet, in particular, was not discovered until 2017, so at the very least the window of time for someone else to image this is relatively small," explains Connor M. Matherne to the Phoblographer in an interview.

He's an amateur astrophotographer with a Masters of Science in Geology, and that's based at Louisana State University. "In the 2017 paper published b McKinley et al. , they had the help of amateur astrophotographer Rolf Wahl Olsen who shot the same target and recently updated his total exposure time to 130 hours for it. Still no C jet sadly. " Connor states that an astrophotographer needs access to both great equipment and even better skies to pull off what he did. The breathtaking image above isn't one that can be found easily online--at least not done by amateur photographers. And this isn't the only masterpiece that Connor has done. .
