BACKYARD OBSERVATORY
I like the kind of people who get excited over the stars at night.
About me
My name is Yannick and I love space and photography. That's all you need to know at the moment. Maybe my images speak for themselves 😉
Backyard Observatory
Almost all of my images are captured from my backyard in Southern Germany.

Astrophotography is an art
It’s about finding extra-ordinary
In an ordinary place
