My Equipments

Hey there! Welcome to the corner where I talk about all the cool gear I use, to take stunning images of celestial bodies. Most of my astrophotography happens right from my balcony in Berlin’s suburbs. It’s amazing what you can see even with the city lights buzzing around.

Sometimes, I pack up and head out to Brandenburg’s darker spots. It’s like night and day – literally! The stars out there are just mind-blowing, and I love capturing their beauty.

Traveling is a big part of my life, and my astro gear most of the time tags along. Whether I’m on a plane or backpacking, I keep things light and portable. You’ll be surprised at what you can capture with some nifty, travel-friendly setups!

Sri Lanka, my home country, is a special place for me. Near the equator, with skies way clearer than what I get in most of Europe, it’s perfect for some serious astrophotography.

And here’s something cool – I’m currently planning to send some of my gear to a remote dark site in Spain. Can’t wait to see what I’ll capture from there!

So, dive in and check out my gear setups – from the stuff I use on my balcony to the kits that have seen places of the world than most people. It’s not just about the equipment; it’s about the adventures they take me on and the stories they help me tell. Let’s explore the universe together!
