I Captured Two Distant Supernovae with My Telescope
In this video, I present two distant supernovae that I was fortunate enough to photograph: SN2017eaw in the galaxy NGC 6946, and SN2019ehk in M100.
Both images were taken just days after their discovery.
These are real astronomical observations, captured through amateur astrophotography.

Comets: Visitors from Afar
Since 2017, I’ve had the chance to photograph several comets — some famous, like Neowise, others more discreet or even unexpected.
This video is a montage of these fleeting encounters, captured over the years with various gear.

A journey through galaxies
Here, I invite you to travel through galaxies,
from the outskirts of the Milky Way to the most distant regions of the Universe.
Along the way, you will discover spiral galaxies, interacting systems, compact groups, and finally a quasar whose light has traveled more than 8 billion years before reaching Earth.

An Unexpected Encounter — M95, M96 and (11) Parthenope
On the night of February 21–22, 2023, I was imaging the spiral galaxies M95 and M96 in Leo, about 30 million light-years away.
While processing the data, I noticed a moving object crossing the field.
It was asteroid (11) Parthenope, a 150-km main-belt asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. That night, it was near opposition, at 1.7048 AU (≈255 million km), appearing close to its maximum brightness (mag ~10).
