Welcome to my blog

I’ve been passionate about the night sky for over 15 years, capturing stars, nebulae, and distant galaxies through long-exposure photography with a telescope or telephoto lens. Each picture is an attempt to reveal the hidden beauty of the cosmos, a silent world that most of us rarely notice. Living and photographing under urban skies has its challenges — light pollution makes every successful shot feel like a small victory. Yet these obstacles never diminish the wonder of seeing a galaxy emerge in the frame, or the intricate details of nebulae glowing softly against the darkness. This blog is my way of sharing those moments, my experiences with techniques and equipment, and the stories behind each image. I hope to inspire fellow stargazers and photographers to explore the night sky, even if they are surrounded by city lights.
