Astroblog: The Lonely Photon

Two astro bloggers: Pascal (l) and Adriano (r)

End of March I met in Berzieux (France) a new friend, Adriano, with the same intrest. Both stayed in the very dark skies of Berzieux making astropictures. It was a pleasure talking with him and to share tips and ideas. Interesting as well is that we both have a personal blog.

Adriano's blog can be found as The Lonely Photon - see this link.

Adriano has build up lot's of experience with installing his astro equipment on different locations as his own location suffers from lightpollution. This was clearly shown in Berzieux: remote, fast and efficient set up.

Lately he is taking pictures of nebulas and galaxies with long exposures (5-15hours) with some awesome results.
