OURTESY OF José Carlos Diniz
I started to show and exhibit my photos , give lectures , after all I had the duty to pass on what I learned and disseminate was the best thing to do . In 2009 I sold the house and bought land within an APA ( environmental preservation area ) where there is no public lighting ! In this special place I built a new house and a new observatory . With the growth of the internet , the appearance and access to new equipment and software has greatly increased the spread of Astronomy and Astrophotography in our environment . Astronomy lovers ’ clubs and associations popped up . Regional Astronomy meetings appear and then national meetings ( ENAST ), today in its
staple for Southern Hemisphere stargazers .
