OUR PRESENTER:

Stephen Li is a passionate astrophotographer, artist, and explorer whose vision of the cosmos is shaped by congenital double cataracts. A devoted father and first-generation immigrant living in El Monte, CA, he captures stunning deep-space images from his backyard under LA's challenging light-polluted skies.

In his one-hour Google Slides presentation "Piercing The Veil Under The LA Skyline" — Adventures In Breaking Barriers of Art and Science in Backyard Astrophotography, Stephen opens with a 3-minute video bio, followed by curated backyard images highlighting scientific details, his gallery-featured art career, and connections to space industry events including the LAAS Centennial at Griffith Observatory, the 248th AAS Convention in Pasadena, and imaging at Mt. Wilson.
