I started astronomy in 2008, I was naive, of course, but this mistake made me curious. Very curious. And it was this curiosity that started it all.

Passion was winning me over.

Very quickly, I became a real hardware geek It became my playground: comparing, testing and understanding every technical detail. I started with visual observation, then quickly moved on to the’astrophotography, which I have been practising for 10 years.

How did I get started? A sensor CCD and a AZ-EQ6. A demanding combination, but incredibly formative. I was hooked immediately. So much so, that I became obsessed with scrutinizing every patch of clear sky.

For a long time, all this was done in my spare time, until one day, after my studies and the start of a career in a completely different field, I decided to follow what I was really passionate about.

This is how Deep Space Astronomy SA.

I have great ambitions for this company: this store is just the first incarnation. Many other projects are in the pipeline...

Stick around if you're interested in what happens next 😉
