Growing up in Orland Park near Homer Glen, Jasonn Pellegrini was always fascinated by the idea of space exploration.
Jasonn Pellegrini, of Lemont, captured this image of the Seagull Nebula this year despite the challenges of light pollution in the Chicago area. He started doing astrophotography during the pandemic.
Jasonn Pellegrini, of Lemont, recently showcased some of his astrophotography and discussed the methods he uses to capture the images at the Homer Township Public Library. “It’s not cheap,” Pellegrini said. “It’s a level of how far you want to get into it. It really ranges. … If you want to go all out, you can spend $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, plus more. There’s telescopes out there that cost $60,000.”

He also made the pilgrimage to the annual“The sky is just amazing to see with your own eyes,” he said. “The Milky Way will cast a shadow — it’s that dark there.”Jasonn Pellegrini, of Lemont, traveled to the Nebraska Star Party and photographed the dark nebula LDN 673, a dust cloud that's almost impossible to photograph in the Chicago area because of light pollution.
Among those things are dark nebulae, essentially dust clouds that are not lit, requiring the photographer to block out the light behind them.Light pollution is one of the biggest problems Pellegrini faces in astrophotography. He occasionally picks a target that ends up being too dim to get data. And dealing with so much technology can present its own set of problems.
