This is actually a question for a project I'm working on for work and thought this would be a great outlet to ask.

What are some of your favorite "pro" photographers that specialize in astrophotography or at least have a lot in their portfolio?

They don't have to necessarily even deep dive into telescope-based or deep space photography; Landscape sky photos work as well. I'm looking for people with an established portfolio, possibly some sort of fan base or social following and possible experience teaching workshops. All of that's not mandatory, but a bonus.

Christopher Malin and Sean Parker are two good examples.

Anthony Ayiomamitis. He does all sort of work but to me his analemna are something special.
