Exhibition of astrophotographs taken with a telescope by Emili Martínez Costafreda, featuring nebulae, galaxies, star clusters and the Moon. It is on show at the Centre de Cultura Popular La Violeta in Gràcia, Barcelona.

The exhibition brings together a selection of images of the night sky captured through a telescope. Among them are nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, as well as the Moon and other astronomical objects photographed from Earth. The works focus on showing the detail of these celestial bodies.

Its author, Emili Martínez Costafreda, is an astrophotographer and retired technician, with many years devoted to astronomy. He presents the exhibition with a talk in which he explains the process of capturing the images, the techniques he uses and the challenges this discipline poses.

The venue hosting the exhibition is the Centre de Cultura Popular La Violeta, in the Gràcia district. The visit centres on the photographs and, as a complement, the explanation by their author, and will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn about astronomy through photography of the sky.
