Naz was invited to speak at the Northeast Astro Imaging Conference, adding to prior public talks at the Boston Museum of Science and the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston.
Shot across 12 panels using a remote Bortle 1 observatory (Kagga Kamma, South Africa), the project represents one of his most ambitious deep-sky imaging efforts to date.
The calendar went on sale via his own shop (shop.naztronomy.com) with a free digital version distributed through Patreon, marking an ongoing merch/product line.

Nazmus Nasir, who creates under the portmanteau handle Naztronomy, is a Boston-based amateur astronomer and astrophotographer who has been imaging the night sky since 2012. What sets his channel apart from polished observatory accounts is his deliberate transparency: his stated mission is to document every lesson, mistake, and breakthrough, making his content function as an ongoing practical journal rather than a highlight reel. Critically, he shoots from Bortle 7/8 skies — heavy urban light pollution — which grounds his tutorials in the real-world constraints most hobbyists actually face. His content spans deep-sky imaging, lunar and solar event photography, equipment reviews, and timelapse production, with recent coverage of smart telescope platforms like the Seestar S30 Pro signaling an interest in the automation and accessibility wave reshaping entry-level astrophotography.
Naztronomy commands a micro but notably over-indexed audience — engagement running well above category norms — composed predominantly of adult men aged 25 and older, with a meaningful share of viewers in the 45-plus bracket who tend to skew toward serious hobbyist spending. The audience is anglophone and concentrated in the US, UK, and Canada, aligning naturally with the amateur astronomy equipment market. A sponsorship with Brilliant reflects the channel's science-education positioning and suggests brand partners see the audience as analytically curious and receptive to learning-focused products. As smart telescopes and automation tools lower the barrier to astrophotography, a creator who bridges hands-on technical instruction with urban-accessible shooting conditions is well placed to grow alongside that expanding hobbyist base.
Naztronomy reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. As an education creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Brilliant. Engagement on YouTube runs around 6.4%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows education content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United States-focused brands in education and related categories, Naztronomy offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

Naztronomy's real name is Nazmus Nasir, who goes by Naz. He's an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer based in Boston, Massachusetts, and runs the Naztronomy channel to document every part of his imaging journey.
Boston sits in what astronomers classify as a Bortle 7 to 8 sky — one of the more light-polluted environments you can attempt astrophotography from. Naz openly documents the extra hurdles this creates and which gear or processing techniques help cut through urban skyglow, making his content particularly useful for other city-based hobbyists.
The Bortle scale rates sky darkness from 1 (pristine rural dark sky) to 9 (inner-city sky). A Bortle 7 or 8 means heavy light pollution, typical of large metro areas like Boston. Naz flags his Bortle rating upfront so viewers understand his results are achieved under real urban constraints, not from a remote dark-sky site.
Naz describes himself explicitly as an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer. He's been imaging since 2012, and his entire channel is built around sharing every lesson, mistake, and breakthrough from that self-taught journey rather than presenting a polished professional persona.
Naz has been capturing the cosmos since 2012, giving him well over a decade of hands-on experience. That longevity adds real credibility to his gear reviews and technique tutorials, since he's personally worked through multiple generations of amateur astronomy equipment.
One of the telescopes Naz actively uses and features is the Seestar S30 Pro, an automated smart telescope that handles tracking and image stacking on its own. He's posted Milky Way timelapses shot directly from the device, and smart telescope reviews are a core part of his content.
Yes — Naztronomy released a total lunar eclipse timelapse captured in early March 2026 from his Boston location. He paired it with a tutorial on how to photograph any lunar eclipse, making the event both a creative project and an educational resource for his audience.
Yes, Naz ran a giveaway of a Dwarf Mini Smart Telescope tied directly to his lunar eclipse photography tutorial. Combining step-by-step educational content with gear giveaways is a format he uses to bring new people into amateur astronomy.
Brilliant, the interactive learning platform covering math, science, and computer science, sponsored Naztronomy's YouTube content in late 2025. The partnership is a natural fit given Naz's science-education angle and the strong interest his audience has in space and technology topics.
Naz covers both — alongside lunar eclipses and Milky Way timelapses, he's posted content on sunspots and solar eclipses, photographing the sun through a telescope during the day. That range, from daytime solar imaging to overnight deep-sky sessions, makes his channel a broader astronomy resource rather than a purely nighttime photography account.
