Bloody brilliant! But watch the govt try tax his telescope next. Probably call it a 'luxury asset' or some crap 💀

Chloe Martin2026-07-20T23:27:00.000Z

Cool photos and all but what's the point? An electrician from feilding taking pictures of stars isn't gonna solve anything

Hana Stewart2026-07-20T23:48:00.000Z

As a fellow sparky, this is mad impressive. Takes real patience to get those shots, way more than wiring a house!

Mason Young2026-07-21T00:19:00.000Z

Man I seen some of his work on fb, absolutely stunning. Makes you realise how small we really are aye

Mason Young2026-07-21T00:29:00.000Z

facts mate, puts things in perspective. Good on him

Jamie Fox2026-07-21T00:34:00.000Z

Awesome stuff Evan! Proud of ya mate, putting NZ on the map for something other than rugby and sheep 😂

Chloe Martin2026-07-21T00:58:00.000Z

yeah nah cheers mate, I'll stick to caring about things that affect real life

River Cole2026-07-21T00:52:00.000Z

yeah nah it's alright but who actually cares about stars we got potholes to fix

River Cole2026-07-21T01:01:00.000Z

get stuffed, fixing potholes is literally saving lives on the daily

Sam North2026-07-21T01:09:00.000Z

Tbf this is way cooler than half the crap on TV these days. At least he's doing something productive with his spare time instead of scrolling tiktok

Hana Stewart2026-07-21T01:57:00.000Z

agree, beats watching the news and getting depressed

Reese Morgan2026-07-21T01:17:00.000Z

Watch out, the council will send him a noise complaint for the stars being too bright or some nonsense. Meanwhile the road outside my house is crumbling

Reese Morgan2026-07-21T01:52:00.000Z

haha accurate, council probably eyeing his gear already

Peyton Hall2026-07-21T01:33:00.000Z

Absolutely love seeing kiwis succeed on the world stage! Hope he wins it 🏆
