    Steve Leonard is a Canadian astrophotographer based in Toronto who has been capturing stunning images of the night sky since 2021. His work has been featured in notable publications such as Astronomy, Sky and Telescope, BBC Sky at Night, Astronomy Now, and the Journal of the Royal Canadian Astronomical Society.


    What sets Steve apart from many astrophotographers is his dedication to imaging from urban environments, where light pollution poses significant challenges. He embraces this difficulty, pushing both his equipment and processing skills to their limits to create high-quality images. His primary focus is on deep sky imaging, particularly nebulae, and he utilizes 3 nm narrowband filters to effectively cut through the bright city lights.


    With a background in engineering, physics, and invention, Steve meticulously builds and customizes his imaging rig, fully understanding the capabilities and limitations of each component. This expertise allows him to achieve expert-level results even with mid-range equipment. He also enjoys the creative side of astrophotography, where the fusion of science and artistry plays a crucial role in shaping each image.


    In addition to his astrophotography pursuits, Steve supports startups in their commercialization efforts, particularly in developing their intellectual property. You can find his images also on Instagram under the handle urban.astrophotography.

    Steve Leonard: Blood Glow – A Witness to Celestial Drama

    This extraordinary print captures the March 14, 2025 total lunar eclipse with breathtaking detail and artistic vision, preserving both the lunar surface textures and the ethereal copper glow that gives this celestial event its haunting beauty.

    Steve Leonard's meticulous compositing technique reveals what the human eye struggles to perceive – the perfect balance between the eclipsed moon's surface details and the delicate starfield it hangs among.

    The Story Behind the Masterpiece

    Remember that feeling? When the moon transforms into a copper penny hanging in the star-speckled sky, and time itself seems to slow.

    That's what Steve Leonard has captured in "Blood Glow."

    This isn't just another moon photo. It's the result of painstaking technical mastery and artistic vision, combining multiple datasets into a single, faithful portrait of a rare astronomical moment. Leonard captured separate exposures – one set preserving the intricate lunar surface details, another revealing the faint outer glow and surrounding starfield that usually disappear in standard photographs.

    What you're seeing is the true experience of witnessing a perfect total lunar eclipse, as your eyes would perceive it under ideal conditions – something no single camera exposure could achieve.
