Welcome!

Thanks for visiting Seneca Astronomy. We hope you enjoy viewing our photos half as much as we enjoy creating them! Our website centers around imaging the night sky. While we certainly enjoy visual observations through our various telescopes, our passion is being able to share what we can see along with deep-sky objects that can only be captured by tedious long-exposure astrophotography techniques.
