Welcome to Observatory Serena
La Serena, Chile




Welcome!


Welcome to my private observatory "Observatory Serena". Ever since I was a child I was faczinated by the nightsky. One of my childhood dreams was to see the great observatories in Chile when I read about it them in a book. Now I have made my dream come true and I have installed a privat observatory near La Serena, Chile. In the near future I plan on creating a planetarium with the specialication in Astrophotography. For now I would like to share a small collection of astrophotos. I took all pictures at home in Chile.

Chile is the most adequate place for astronomy. Due to its low humidity and hardly any light pollution it has the clearest skies in the world. It is not a coincidence that most great observatories are located there.


Its Atacama desert is the driest desert in the world. This photo was taken in San Pedro de Atacama, a small village in the middle of the Atacama desert. The clarity of the sky and its intense blue is an unforgettable experience for astronomers and tourists.
