Photographing outer space

Four years ago, friends Scott Lange and Nick Foster set out to photograph the sky. Since then, armed with an 8-inch telescope and a Canon DSLR camera, the amateur photographers have captured some incredible images of space and the night sky.

Photography is just a hobby for Lange, a pedi-cab driver and full-time student of astrophysics, and Foster, a mechanical engineer, but that hasn't stopped them from creating some mind-blowing pictures.

Lange and Foster share their work on their website and self-published a book last December. They are currently raising money for a trip to capture the perfect photograph of the Milky Way galaxy. Learn more about their "Operation Milky Way" project on their Kickstarter page.
