Perseids 2022 Astronomical Camp astro-photo-haiku

Starting with 1993 , the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy - SARM organizes every year a two-week national astronomical camp during the Perseid meteor shower activity . Various activities take place during the camp : summer astronomical school , workshops , theoretical astronomy sessions , astronomical observation sessions , dark-sky exploration using the sky map , telescope observations , day and night astrophotography , astrophotography exhibition , astronomical book library , astropoetry and astro-arts , cultural program and hiking for exploration of this submontane area . The astro-photos-haikus on the following pages are creations of astrophotographer Valentin Grigore ( President of SARM & National Coordinator for Romania of Astronomers Without Borders ) and astropoet Andrei Dorian Gheorghe ( director of SARM ’ s Cosmopoetry Festival ). These creations were inspired by the days and nights of the 2021 Perseids Astronomical Camp , the 29th edition , which took place at Runcu Stone , Romania , between July 29 and August 13 , 2021 .
