Now that I’m in Australia, chasing the night sky with my good friend and fellow astrophotographer Jason Perry, I want to take a moment to share some exciting news that’s been in the works for a while…
I’ve officially partnered with Move Shoot Move, the makers of one of the most compact and game-changing star trackers I’ve ever used. If you’ve been to one of my workshops or seen my behind-the-scenes posts, you already know how much I rely on this little tracker. It’s become my go to tool for capturing clean, sharp Milky Way images, especially in remote, rugged landscapes where keeping my gear light and fast matters.
Why Move Shoot Move?
The Move Shoot Move tracker is simple, small and very portable, and incredibly effective—and that’s why I’ve been using it exclusively lately. Whether I’m shooting from a rocky outcrop in Big Bend or under the Southern Cross here in Australia, it delivers results without weighing me down. Oh and yes you can get a quick and accurate southern alignment with the right tools.
Now, I’m thrilled to offer something back to my community. As part of this partnership, you can now use my exclusive discount code to save 5% on any Move Shoot Move product:

New! My Amazon Storefront is Live
On top of that, I’ve launched a brand-new Amazon storefront featuring a curated list of the gear I use and trust—everything from my cameras and lenses to camping, overlanding, and backcountry tools that keep me going in the wild. Check it out below
Every purchase made through either of these links directly supports what I do—whether it’s running workshops, exploring new locations, or sharing free tips and tutorials with fellow photographers and veterans.
Thank You for Keeping the Adventure Alive
Your support means the world. These tools help me do what I love, teaching, creating, and chasing light across some of the most remote corners of the planet. If you’ve ever wondered what I use in the field or wanted to get serious about your astrophotography game, I hope these resources help light the way and as always if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me.
Thanks for being part of the journey.
Wherever you are, keep looking up.
