About me:

Hello, I’m Alfredo Juárez, an astrophotographer from Sinaloa, Mexico. My journey into this celestial art began in high school with a Konica Minolta camera and took flight during a 600-mile expedition to chase the Neowise comet in 2020. This thrilling journey ignited a passion in me, transforming the night sky into my canvas and its celestial bodies into my subjects.

Astrophotography is more than just a profession to me; it’s a healing process and a source of endless inspiration. The serenity of being under the vast night sky, capturing the cosmic spectacle, and sharing these moments of wonder with the world is an experience that’s both humbling and rewarding.
