About Davide De Martin

I'm an engineer and an amateur astronomer. I live in Venice, Italy, where I work in a big power supply industry.

My main interest is definitely about astronomy. I have loved this matter and the night sky since I was a child. Other interests are in astronautic and space exploration (both manned and unmanned), astronomy popularization, computer enhancement of astronomical images, drawing, painting, collecting material from the early manned space age, and other things.

Since 1997, I have collaborated with an Italian astronomy magazine titled "Coelum". I wrote dozens of columns and several articles, most of them about space exploration and astronautic history. I also have produced or cooperated in several works in popular science, like websites and multimedia CD-ROMs.
One of my projects is visible at http://www.spacearchive.net.

Since 2005, I collaborate with the ESA/Hubble at ESO (http://www.spacetelescope.org) as a consultant working as an image processor.

I have a 13-inches Dobsonian telescope and I enjoy myself observing the marvelous celestial objects disseminated in the warm summer night skies.

I also like the old-fashioned Italian style, especially on cars. That's why I love my 40+ years old Fiat 500.
