Alan Dyer is one of Canada’s best-known astronomy authors and astrophotographers. He has been shooting the sky since the 1980s with film, and since the early 2000s with digital cameras, primarily Canon and Nikon DSLRs. He takes most of his images at locations in the mountains, prairies, and badlands of his home province of Alberta, which include several UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
His photographs have appeared in many print publications, including Astronomy, Sky & Telescope, National Geographic, Air & Space, Sky At Night, Interstellarum, and on various major news websites.
