 | Backyard Amateur AstronomyWe shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

 | AstrophotographyBetween my 12 and 18 years astronomy was my passion. It was the start of my interest in photography. That's the reason that I became a professional photographer and now a photography dealer .
That why I'm also interested in historical Astrophotography.
After 20 years of occasional observing I took up again my passion.
Necessity creates possibilities: discovering the unexepted possibilities of my equipment is a creative exploration of the mind.
My professional life is very stressing but when looking to the stars the stress disappears. It's a source of energy.
Not the scope is goal but observing as much as possible.

 | Historical AstrophotographyAstrophotography was one of the first photographic subjects. Photography needed to help astronomers to find answers to some basic questions: is there life on the Moon, how much stars are there and how big is the Universe.
In 2006 I organized a photo exhibition called "Who's afraid of the Dark?" with a lot of unique astrophotos.
In this section you can find a selection of this exhibition. |

| EquipmentEquipment can never be a goal as such but is a priority to use the right equipment for observing and to take photos.
It takes a lot of time and skills to find and match the right tools. In this part of the website you can see the results of this never ending search. |
