Description

@F. Londe  was one of the earliest supporters of my astrophotography work, and his unwavering encouragement has been a constant source of inspiration throughout my journey.

Beyond his support, however, it is his attitude towards life that I find truly inspiring . His passion and dedication for the cosmos is contagious, and I am grateful for his encouragement.

I wanted to give back in some small way to someone whos actively supported me and many others showcase their work to a wider audience. So I proposed a collab, and Fernando graciously agreed. 

I picked PacMan Nebula (original link), a stunning celestial object that has captivated astronomers  for decades, but is very difficult target for me to image with my current setup and horrible skies.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Fernando for his ongoing support, and for the opportunity to collaborate on this project. I look forward to many more such ventures in the future.
