This page explores the formation mechanisms, types of lightning, their consequences, and safety measures. https://new.theraulaz.ch/en/astrophotography/moon/ Sun, 06 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://new.theraulaz.ch/en/astrophotography/moon/ The Moon is one of the most observed celestial objects from Earth. This page explores its physical characteristics, origin, influence on our planet, and the history of its exploration. https://new.theraulaz.ch/en/astrophotography/comets/ Sat, 05 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://new.theraulaz.ch/en/astrophotography/comets/ Photographing a comet is a race against time, clouds, and the horizon. Each passage is unique, unpredictable, and often faint. But when a comet reveals itself—like NEOWISE in 2020 or C/2023 P1 Nishimura more recently—it is pure emotion. I've tried to capture these appearances from dark locations, at dawn or just after sunset. Tripod, long exposures, patience... and sometimes, a miracle. Seeing that thin tail appear on the screen is a huge reward. This page gathers my best shots, attempts, and memories of these nomadic objects. https://new.theraulaz.ch/en/astrophotography/conjunctions/ Sat, 05 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://new.theraulaz.ch/en/astrophotography/conjunctions/ This page gathers my images of naked-eye conjunctions between two or more celestial bodies: planets, the Moon, bright stars. These events are predictable but often brief. They offer great opportunities to compose photos with terrestrial elements.
