Center of the milkyway. 30 seconds exposure time
Welcome to the private observatory "Observatory Serena". Here you can see a small selecion of astrophotos. For those who wish to explore the nightsky for themselves, we also offer astronights during the months of August and July. Find out more about the nightly tours through the nightsky here.
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 counts to the driest desert in the world. This photo was taken in San Pedro de Atacama in the a tiny town in the middle of the Atacama desert. The clarity of the sky and the intense blue is an unforgettable experience for astronomers or hobby astronomers. The nightskies are just as fabulous.
