I
produce color images of the most beautiful and uncommon celestial objects
using the modern techniques of digital image enhancement. I
started working with the data and the black&white photographs
captured by astronomers with the instruments installed at Mount Palomar
Observatory.
I continued working also with data collected by the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST), producing images that are often released by
the ESA's Hubble Information Centre (HEIC), often co-released by
NASA's Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)
and the Hubble Heritage
Project. Now, I also collaborate with the European Southern
Observatory - Educational and Public Outreach Department (ESO - EPO
Dept.), making images from the data captured by ESO's several
observatories.
This work allows me to discover wonderful celestial objects hidden in
exceptional data that lay unseen in archives, sometimes from decades.
The night-sky is full of jewels that
wait only to be admired. This website aims to show you some of these as you never
have seen before. |
