About Me

Turning Curiosity Into Creations for Stargazers

What started as late-night tinkering in a small workshop has grown into tools like SteadySky — making astrophotography possible without expensive gear.

 

I’m Ell, and I design, test, and sometimes break things so you don’t have to. Everything here is built with curiosity and a passion for sharing the night sky with more people.

SteadySky Origin

Compact & Compatible

Mounts to any standard 1/4″ tripod thread and includes a solid ball joint for full 360° pointing freedom.
