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.
