What is it?

 


Buy photo prints of these images


I produce color images of the most beautiful and uncommon celestial objects using the modern techniques of photographic digital enhancement. I mainly use the data and the black&white photographs captured by astronomers with the instruments installed at Mount Palomar or other Observatories.
I also produce images from the data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), images
which are released by Hubble European Space Agency Information Centre (HEIC), often co-released by NASA's Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)  and the Hubble Heritage Project.
This work allowed me to discover the wonderful celestial objects hidden in exceptional images that lay unseen in archives, sometimes from decades.

The night-sky is full of jewels that wait only to be admired. This website will show you some of these as you never have seen before.
