Tham Chee Tong, Malaysia (currently living in Germany)

"It was a moonless night during my stay in SaharaSky, stargazing and nightscape photography were basically my evening routine. Thanks to Patrick, who conducted a guided stargazing activity provided me with some useful explanations regarding astronomy phenomena. This was my first time in life to peek at Saturn and Jupiter together with its 4 moons through telescopes, as well as supernova remnants. This was surely an amazing experience."

The images were taken on a fixed mount using a 20-seconds exposure each at f2.0, fl 12mm, ISO-3200 with a Sony ILCE-6000 camera.

This Milky Way timelapse video was taken in SaharaSky's backyard.

The Milky Way taken in a cloudy night sky, yet surprisingly beautiful, it feels like the Galaxy was emerging behind the cloud layers, enhancing the sense of depth in this photo. Full Screen

Dr. Jutta und Dr. Ingo Gruszka, Wiesbaden, Germany

"Find here attached 2 simple pictures of the telescope and the moon of our visit in Sahara-Sky hotel on 04/03/2018 taken with a smartphone camera. Despite the fact that we had nearly full moon and it was even a bit cloudy, it was amazing nonetheless. This is because Patrick abducted us with his explanations and stories into the depth of the space and back into the history of knowledge and to the beginning of material. In the end after midnight we even had a clear look on Jupiter with its clouds and four moons nearby (Wow! I never saw this by myself before), unfortunately without taken a picture. What a fascinating night."

Bettina und Reto Bolliger, Switzerland

"Wir bezeichnen uns als fortgeschrittene Anfänger und konnten in dieser Woche mit dem konstant sehr guten Wetter viele Erfahrungen mit unserer halbjährigen Ausrüstung sammeln, bei uns hätte das Monate gedauert. Den klaren Himmel mit der nur geringen Lichtverschmutzung vermissen wir bereits sehr. Die Bedingungen auf dem Dach des SaharaSky waren fur uns optimal, die Gespräche mit Dir, Patrick, Karel, Anna und den verschiedenen 'Tages-Besuchern' waren sehr interessant und bereichernd. Kurz und gut, es hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen. Wir hoffen, es gibt das SaharaSky noch lange, wir kommen gerne wieder."
