The night sky and the universe have fascinated me since childhood. I have already been able to photograph the Milky Way in Namibia and the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) on the Lofoten Islands. Now I have ventured on a very special adventure together with astrophotographer Stefan Liebermann. At the beginning of January we met in the middle of the night to document the transit of the ISS (International Space Station) before the full moon. This time, however, the precautions and the technology used were a whole different ball game but see for yourself! :)
