Astrophotography – Journey and Techniques

Astrophotography – Journey and Techniques

Lecture in English by Egor Goryachev (Astrophotographer)

Friday, 23 Mai 2025, 8 p.m.

As many of us live in big cities, we can’t even see the stars and the Milky Way from our neighbourhoods as light pollution obstructs our view. Africa and Namibia in particular, is one of the sparsely populated areas of the world where the impact of light pollution is minimal. You don’t have to climb high into the mountains to chase the Milky Way. Even on the flat surface of Africa, you can see thousands of stars on a clear night. And what you see is incredible. Over the last 3 years I have explored many different places in Namibia. Spending the night under the stars is a great experience that you want to repeat again and again.

If the skies are clear, guests are invited to visit our rooftop observatory after the talk and enjoy the views with our telescopes.
