Deep-sky gallery · Le Bourdieu Observatory
These images were captured at the observatory in La Romieu and reflect the sky, the equipment and the hours of time behind the work. Each one is available as a fine-art print.
Souvenirs from deep space
Nebula · IC 5070
A rich image of the Pelican Nebula, showing the sculpted edge of ionised gas and the delicate structures that make this region such a compelling astrophotography target.
Nebula · NGC 2244
A wider-format portrait of the Rosette Nebula and the young open cluster at its core, showing the contrast between stellar winds and the surrounding ionised gas.
Nebula · NGC 7000
A dramatic crop through the North America Nebula, focused on the bright wall-like region known as the Cygnus Wall, with detailed, colour-rich structure.
Observatory craft
Alongside nebulae and galaxies, the gallery reflects the engineering culture behind the observatory: careful, iterative and grounded in long experience.
