About

What we do

As the husband and wife team of Paul and Sylvia Mayo, we reside under the dark Australian night skies of Coonabarabran in New South Wales, the "Astronomy Captial of Australia" from where we use an armada of astrophotography telescopes and professional photo equipment to capture the universe from some of the darkest skies in the world. We push cameras and optical equipment to their limits revealing the universe around us in stunning detail. Our best photography is then available from our on-line shop in a variety of formats including professionally framed photographs, professionally mounted photographs and wall-sized photo prints. They are real space photographs, professionally presented to IMPRESS and INSPIRE in your home or office décor.

Paul is featured as one of Australia's Inspiring Photographers in the Photo Review magazine, read the article at Photo Review magazine.



Deep Space Photography

It’s been a life-long passion… photographing the universe, it’s challenging and tests us and our equipment to its limits. Our large telescopes give us a way to see into the universe around us. Our cameras give us a way to show you. Cameras attached to the telescopes take exposures lasting hours revealing distant celestial objects in outstanding detail and color. Our interest lies in the deep sky where distant star clusters, nebula and galaxies are found.



Professional Framing

Our finest work is available in framed, mounted or photographic print. All framing and mounting work is performed in our frame shop delivering the highest quality frames and mounts possible. Our frames are high quality custom made sealed timber frames with matching mat board surround. Mounted photographs are fixed to a backing board with mat surround and are ready for framing or display. Photographic prints up to poster size are also available.





We can photograph your Star

Our pro telescope can take professional photographs of any star that you've named through a Name a Star registry. It's the perfect gift or keepsake.

Thank you Paul,

I received my beautiful photo yesterday. It is now hanging on our wall and has given our home ‘The Wow Factor’.

I really appreciate your wonderful customer service and artistic talents. Got first class service from my first phone call right up to the delivery yesterday. Arrived on exactly the same day as was advised weeks ago.

Thank you again.
Regards
Susan L


Thank you so much Paul for getting our beautiful photo in the mail on time - and packed so well too!

We gave it to our friend yesterday and he was moved to tears. To say that it was received well is an understatement. (And to think, we had no idea he'd be so into galaxy images!)

I loved how you'd mounted the photo too. That slim white line, of the mat, set the image off brilliantly.

Thanks again. Love your work.
