Team Celestron

Pranvera Hyseni

Pranvera Hyseni has realized her dream of bringing astronomy to her native country, the Republic of Kosovo. She’s the founder of Astronomy Outreach of Kosovo, which reaches over 25,000 people annually—the largest group of its kind in Eastern Europe. She recently earned a graduate degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in Earth & Planetary Sciences.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology

With a mission to enhance the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a leader in traditional research techniques and public outreach. Their innovative workshops educate and inspire the community, especially students and teachers.

The Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy

Founded by Stephen Ramsden, the Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project is the largest hands-on astronomy outreach program in the world, offering a unique solar astronomy experience to over 250,000 people at more than 300 free STEM events per year in 22 countries.

Dr. Phil Plait, The Bad Astronomer

Astronomy Ph.D., skeptic, blogger, and two-time author Phil Plait uses his online platforms to share content for curious people who want to learn more about Earth, space, and the Universe. You’ll find him everywhere from Twitter to The Discovery Channel.

Cara Santa Maria

Cara Santa Maria is a science communicator, television presenter, and award-winning journalist with a background in neuroscience. She also hosts two podcasts, Talk Nerdy with Cara Santa Maria and The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe.

Theo Boris

New York City native Theo Boris taught himself how to use a Celestron telescope on the roof of his Manhattan apartment building. He is an eclipse chaser, active in science-related philanthropic causes, and a competitive chess player. (Oh yeah, and he’s still in high school.)

John Davis

Writer, producer, and director John Davis is the force behind films like Oscar-nominated Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. But he also turns his artistic eye (and his many telescopes) toward the night sky.

Christoph Kaltseis

In less than five years, Austrian Christoph Kaltseis has received four APODs and two EAPODs with Celestron equipment ranging from an 8” Newtonian reflector to a 14” EdgeHD. He has quickly established himself as one of Europe’s most acclaimed astroimagers.

Grant Regen

He began observing the sky as a first grader. Now, Grant Regen is studying Engineering Physics at Stanford University and creating stunning astroimages with his weapon of choice—the Celestron RASA 8.

Tahoe Star Tours

At the Cosmoarium at Northstar resort in Lake Tahoe, under pristine dark skies, art and science collide. Founder Tony Berendsen takes his guests on a mesmerizing night sky tour complete with top-of-the-line Celestron telescopes, a campfire, and his original astropoetry.

#Popscope

Founders Viva Dadwal and Michael O’Shea created #Popscope in 2014 when they hosted a free pop-up stargazing event on a street corner in Ottawa, Ontario. Today, their grassroots organization has more than 40 volunteers, with chapters across North America.

Dr. Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking studied the universe for decades, but with the help of Celestron, Stephen Hawking was finally able to observe distant galaxies firsthand.

Thierry Legault

A professional engineer, Thierry Legault creates unique telescope rigs to capture jaw-dropping astroimages. His home-built, ultra-fast tracking mount can photograph tiny objects like the Space Shuttle, the Hubble Space Telescope, and more from the suburbs of Paris. Through books and workshops, he shares his knowledge with others.

Lee and Ashley Hall

This husband-and-wife team has a passion for paleontology. While Lee Hall excavates dinosaur fossils in the field, Ashley Hall manages outreach programs at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. From the lab to the dig site to the classroom, they always have Celestron microscopes in tow.

Christopher Go

One of the world’s most prolific planetary imagers, Christopher Go, uses his Celestron 14” EdgeHD telescope under ideal seeing conditions at his home in Cebu City, Philippines. After imaging his favorite target, Jupiter, for years, he has made several important scientific discoveries, including a storm on the giant planet dubbed “Red Spot Junior.”

Robert Reeves

Robert Reeves’ love of astronomy dates back to the year Celestron was founded: 1960. Night after night, he points his Celestron telescopes at Earth’s closest neighbor, the Moon, capturing craters, maria, and other topographical features in stunning detail.

Damian Peach

Damian Peach, an amateur astronomer since age 10, is a master planetary imager and recipient of multiple astroimaging awards. He’s also a prolific writer whose work graces the pages of astronomy and mainstream media publications. He also designs his own imaging courses.

Dylan O'Donnell

He nabbed his first APOD—and went viral—with a stunning capture of the International Space Station transiting the Moon. From his home observatory in Australia, Dylan teaches aspiring astroimagers via his popular YouTube channel.

Tony Rowell

Tony Rowell was an award-winning photographer specializing in both deep space and landscape astrophotography and time lapse video. Shooting both film and digital, Tony’s work has been featured in books, in magazines, and highly recognizable websites.

Terry Lovejoy

You might think that only professional observatories are capable of discovering comets, but Australian astroimager Terry Lovejoy has managed to find six of them since 2007. Most notably, he found Comet C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy) with his Celestron 8” Schmidt-Cassegrain.

Jimmy Walker

A professional golfer by day, Jimmy Walker has a hidden talent for capturing impressive images of celestial objects. He was an early evangelist for the Celestron RASA.

The Bug Chicks

Scientists, educators, besties. Through their engaging workshops, Kristie Reddick and Jessica Honaker help students and adults conquer their fear of insects and spiders. Armed with Celestron FlipView and MicroDirect microscopes, this duo gets up close and personal with the world’s most amazing crawling creatures.

Anna Cox

As an expert in bloodstain pattern analysis, Anna Cox’s testimony in the courtroom can make or break a criminal case. She relies on her Celestron digital microscopes to go beneath the surface, uncover the truth, and solve crimes.

Sarah Swanson and Max Smith

In their guidebook, Must-See Birds of the Pacific Northwest, co-authors and spouses Sarah Swanson and Max Smith combine fascinating facts about 85 bird species with information on how and where to find them.
