I got interested in astronomy - and astrophotography in particular - at the age of 16 thanks to the appearance of the bright comet 'Hale-Bopp' in 1997. My main interest lies in photography of the deep sky, which requires long exposure times under the starry skies. I don't pursue astrophotography for the science per se. I mainly do it because of the techniques and challenges involved in taking a good astrophotograph and because of the beauty all those celestial objects encompass.
