Terry Lovejoy

Terry Lovejoy

Terry Lovejoy is an amateur astronomer, from Brisbane,Queensland, Australia.

Lovejoy is known for his modifications to consumer-grade digital cameras for digital camera astrophotography. All digital cameras come with built-in filters that cut off infrared light. Unfortunately, they also cut off some of the red light that many deep space objects emit. After he published procedures to modify those filters, many amateur astronomers were able to improve their deep space photography.

On 15 March 2007, he discovered a new comet with one of the cameras. After confirmation by the IAU, the comet now carries his name. [cite web|url=http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,,21430687-5003419,00.html|title=Sky's limit for back yard astronomer|accessdate = 2007-04-21]
