A little island made of ice and fire, is strategically located in such a privileged area, that can join during the whole winter of ions constant dances in the sky, these were 8 lucky nights in a row practicing the only hunting that should be allowed, the stars and aurora hunting. And as Carl Sagan used to say, we live in that pale blue dot, this make us feel humble, but so lucky to trascendt as humans due to our ephemeral duration.
Hi! I'm Cari Letelier, female, chilean, and I'm dedicated to astrophotography and astronomy popularization full time, all I learned was self-taught study, and today I am driven by promoting and teaching to capture and observe our night skies.
By profession I am an Industrial Civil Engineer, Master of Science in Logistics (both UNAB, Chile), but 6 years ago, I discovered astrophotography, spending one year intensively learning positional and observational astronomy, as well as photography. Then, I decided to quit my job as engineer to dedicate myself 24/7 to astrophotography and astronomy.
