Astrofotografie
Bij astrofotografie maak ik foto's van alles dat met de ruimte en de ruimtevaart te maken heeft. Denk hierbij sterren, sterrenstelsels, kometen, planeten maar ook aan 'man-made' objecten zoals satellieten.

The Sun
The Sun is the star at the center of our solar system and is the most important source of energy for life on Earth. In both images we can see the sunspots, which are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are caused by the Sun's magnetic field and are cooler than the surrounding areas.

The Pleiades
The Pleiades (M45), also known as the Seven Sisters, is an open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. It is one of the nearest star clusters to Earth, at a distance of about 444 light-years. The cluster contains several hundred stars, with the brightest ones being easily visible to the naked eye. The Pleiades are surrounded by a faint reflection nebula, which gives the cluster its characteristic blue color.
