There has been a major leap in astrophotographic technology in the past 10-20 years. Powerful computers, digital cameras, new filming and image processing technologies have emerged. Things that could only be shot using big telescopes in large observatories can now be done by amateur astronomers. Pictures of Mars on the left clearly demonstrate this progress. I met Konstantin Morozov long ago in 1986 in Minsk Planetarium, and since then the passion for astrophotography won't let us sleep on a clear night. In the beginning of 2007 another astronomy fan from Minsk, Mikhail Abgarian, joined our company. This site features our works in the area of astrophotography. Enjoy!
