Gerald Rhemann’s images are a sky atlas unto themselves. He’s mastered the arts of deep-sky and nearby astrophotography, and he shares his work with the world on his website. If you ever feel some Earth-cabin fever coming on, check out Rhemann’s work, as it will make you feel like you’ve taken a trip through a comet’s tail and into the hearth of a nebula — without all the radiation poisoning and hypothermia.
