Chicago · Bortle 9 · Rooftop
The universe is within reach.
Deep sky astrophotography from a Chicago rooftop — under some of the most light-polluted skies on earth. Proof that you don't need dark skies or expensive gear to explore the cosmos.

The Mission
I'm Brett Horin — a hobbyist astrophotographer shooting deep sky objects from my Chicago rooftop. No dark sky preserves. No rural retreats. Just a telescope, a camera, and a Bortle 9 sky above one of America's most light-polluted cities.
My work is built on one idea: the universe is accessible from wherever you are.
