Welcome to my site dedicated to astrophotography!

Human beings have always been amazed looking at the starry sky at night. However, when Galileo Galilei first pointed a telescope to the firmament, over 400 years ago, incredible new discoveries surprised humanity: magnificent mountains and lunar valleys, moons of Jupiter, phases of Venus and hundreds of thousands of new stars ever observed. The telescope, a relatively simple instrument, changed since then and forever our conception of the universe and our position in time and space.
This site is dedicated to show my work photographing the Universe beautiful nature from Chile's skies.

As I contemplate these wonderful heavens, I meditate on the beautiful words of Psalms 8:3,4 "When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you formed, what is mortal man for you to keep in mind and the son of man to take care of?"
