The sky is NOT the limit.
Eighteen-year-old Jonah Scott is no ordinary country kid. He's an amazing amateur astronomer taking incredible pictures of space, like this.

"There is so much unknown in space so I was kind of intrigued to know what kind of things were out there after seeing the amazing photos of it in books and stuff. I built my own telescope because I just love making things and also I didn't have the money to purchase one."

"I pretty much just copied some pictures I had in a magazine and experimented until it worked. The later ones just got more and more refined as I learnt more from using them. Once I worked out the basic principle of how telescopes work, designing my own was pretty easy."
