Stargazer

Project preview, more coming soon.

After toiling as a machinist in a zinc mine for the entirety of his adult life, Trevor Barry emerged from the subterranean depths of the Australian Outback and started devoting his retirement days to pursuing his true passion: stargazing.

Using spare material, such as a rainwater tank and washing machine parts, he embarked on a 10-year long project to build an observatory in his own backyard.

When he started he never imagined that ‘Old Mining Trev’ would one day be working with the largest space agency in the world, NASA. But in 2008, when his lens captured images of a 7-month long electrical storm on Saturn that eluded NASA's imaging capabilities, that’s exactly what happened.
