3:22Now PlayingDylan O'Donnell bought a telescope on a whim with his $1,000 tax refund.
Now his star photography is getting the kind of attention most amateur astronomers could only dream of.
At the time he did not realise his backyard in Byron Bay was perfectly placed to view and record deep space. What started as a hobby has become an obsession.
Stargazing has been a fascination for Mr O'Donnell since he was a child. Finally, he installed a kit observatory in his backyard so he could better combine his two great passions: astronomy and photography.
Photos of space taken by Mr O'Donnell have sparked the interest of NASA and the international space station.
All the photographs that Mr O'Donnell produces are shared for free in the public domain.
"I have a mission to get the science out there ... I hope that people see the images and they are engaged," Mr O'Donnell said.
