Une belle galerie qui nous rappelle qu'après le jour vient la nuit, où comètes, planètes, galaxies s'animent pour notre plus grand plaisir. Observer par une nuit claire la voûte céleste et constater qu'elle scintille, clignote et brille juste pour nous persuader que la nuit peut-être aussi belle que le jour, et voilà que vous en apportez la preuve par vos magnifiques photos.

Dear Ernst, I'm making use of an admirable opportunity to send you my sincere gratitude for your Web Site with the pictures of yours I came across yesterday by chance while surfing the Internet. The fact is that I'm getting interested in astronomy and photography as well but I'm neither a great expert or a professional person regarding those both fields. However I find your approaches extremely similar to mine as to your astronomical photos on Internet. I have been very impressed by your pictures because I adore astronomy and photos. By the way one of my close friends has a special liking for astronomy as well and may be considered to be a great amateur astronomer. We both are under your pictures spell. They are actually gorgeous! I live in Russia, in Siberia so if I can be of any interest to you - you are welcome. Sincerely Sergey from Russia.

Wow, looks great mate! BTW, how did you managed to hold the camera for 15 seconds at a dead still? You're really good mate. Thank you for making it possible for us to see such an extrodinary photos of the planets and the sun. Joseph

Ernst, thanks for commenting on my gallery of the Vancouver sky. :-) Seems that your enthusiasm in what's above us is so great that you even go all the way to the space beyond the atmosphere! I wish I (well, I mean, my photographic equipment) had that much power to take photos of these mesmerizing subject matters, too! Thanks very much for sharing all these lovely shots! cheers, Vera :-)
