Journey to the Stars

A Personal Blog of Astrophotography and Calm Beneath the Firmament

Welcome to this corner, where the sky becomes a story and every photograph is a tale in itself.
Here there is no rush, no rules—only the calm of the universe and the passion of looking up.

Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by the stars. I would spend hours watching the sky, dreaming of distant planets and impossible constellations. That fascination grew, turned into curiosity, and today has become a way to connect with nature, with peace, and with myself. That connection manifests through astrophotography.

This blog was born as a journal of exploration—a logbook under the night sky.
Here I’ll share my sessions, experiences, favorite places to escape light pollution, and above all, images that capture that silent moment between the universe and me.

Don’t expect weekly posts. I write when the night calls for it.
When a photo deserves to be told.
When the sky offers something so special that it can’t be kept to oneself.

Beneath the Starry Sky: A Passion Born in Childhood

For as long as I can remember, the universe has fascinated me.
As a child, I could spend hours staring at the stars, imagining what lay beyond those points of light.
I dreamed of becoming an astronaut, floating in space, approaching planets, and discovering new worlds.

Over time, that dream changed shape—but it never disappeared.
In my teens, I got my first telescope. It was modest, but enough to keep that ever-burning curiosity alive.
I would spend entire nights watching the sky, finding constellations, spotting planets, letting my mind travel far beyond what my eyes could reach.

Today, with much more advanced equipment, I consider myself an amateur astrophotographer.
I don’t do it professionally, but whenever I have free time, I take the chance to head into the mountains, to escape the city noise and light pollution, and lose myself in the calm of the night sky.
To me, observing and photographing the universe is a way to connect with nature, with silence, with peace. And if I can share that experience with friends who feel the same passion, even better.

This blog won’t follow a fixed rhythm, nor does it aim to be perfect.
It’s simply a space to share experiences, reflections, photos, and moments that deserve to be told. Because sometimes, writing is also a way to look at the stars.
