Hi! I'm Sarah Mathews and I’m an astrophotographer :)
This YouTube channel is for all things astrophotography and astronomy. I love helping others learn about the night sky and how to image it. Videos on this channel generally include overviews and tutorials of astrophotography-related hardware and software, as well as reviews for astro gear. Additionally, we dive into some of the cool science of space and updates in the space industry!
I've always had a love for space, astrophysics, art, engineering, and philosophy, and sharing the cosmic perspective is very important to me and a huge reason why I love teaching and doing astrophotography!
I also offer 1-on-1 consulting! If you're interested in in-depth support in areas such as building and putting together an astro setup, data acquisition, image processing, etc., please feel free to contact me via email: sarahmathsastro@gmail.com
Thanks for stopping by! Clear skies everyone!

🪐On March 23–24, 2025, Saturn’s rings will seem to disappear.
Every 14 to 15 years, as Saturn orbits the Sun, its 26.7° tilt lines the rings up edge-on from our point of view. This is called a Ring Plane Crossing. The rings span about 282,000 km wide but are only 30 meters thick, basically the height of a 10-story building.
During these crossings, faint moons become easier to see. This month, scientists confirmed the discovery of 128 new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing its total to 274. That officially dethrones Jupiter as the planet with the most moons in the solar system!
Right now, Saturn’s near the Sun and tough to spot, but here are Hubble images from the 1995 and 2009 crossings!

Here are some of my images from the total solar eclipse! A 4,000 mile drive (round trip!) that was beyond worth it.
I have all of the raw data files taken that day from two different imaging setups available for Patrons here!: www.patreon.com/posts/102289883?pr=true
Please feel free to share links to any of your images in the comments - I'd love to see them :)

Hi All! This is my first 'Community' post on the Tube. This is my recent image of M27 - The Dumbbell Nebula taken with the Askar 103 APO and ZWO ASI2600MM Pro camera.
I wanted to stop by and thank you all for being so awesome and supportive. Being a part of this amazing community of astronomy and astrophotography enthusiasts has been incredible and I'm so grateful for you all.
I hope your year is off to a great start! Looking forward to this year together.
Cheers!
