Revealing Ancient Light with Modern Precision

About Keen Astro

Keen Astro is run by Andy Keen — a professional astrophotographer, aurora guide, and educator who has spent over 16 years and more than 10,000 hours working beneath Arctic skies.

Since 2008, Andy has guided thousands of participants from around the world in search of the Northern Lights, with an aurora success rate of approximately 95%. His work has been published in The Guardian, Sky & Telescope, Wanderlust, and the Daily Mail. On screen, he has contributed to BBC and Spiegel TV productions — including the BAFTA-nominated Little Stargazing and Die Sonne, which won the Medienpreis Luft- und Raumfahrt.

That experience feeds directly into everything Keen Astro offers: in-person workshops, Northern Lights guiding, deep sky imaging, schools outreach, and free online learning — for everyone from complete beginners to photographers ready to go further.
