Craig is perhaps best known for the software he writes for Stark Labs. He's the author of numerous free or affordable pieces of astrophotography software for the Mac and PC including PHD Guiding, Nebulosity, and DSLR Shutter. He's a frequent contributor to Astrophotography Insight, Astronomy Technology Today, and has a new regular column on Cloudy Nights.
