Description

This was my first astrophotography. I was just under twelve years old at the time, and my father took me to Austria with the amateur astronomer group to see the eclipse. I was lucky enough to have had a family that indulged my passions, first and foremost astronomy. How many all-nighters I made my father do! What great memories. To this day I cannot understand how I managed to take these images, perfectly focused, with a 2 m focal length telescope and an analog camera not designed for astrophotography. But above all without the slightest idea of ​​what I was doing! I still remember the emotion I felt when my mother took me to collect the developed photos. What a surprise to see them so successful! For me these shots really have a special meaning.
