Hi, my name is Roar Skartlien, and I currently live in Norway. I hope you find my astronomy web pages interesting and motivating. I have astronomical observations as a hobby filled with fun, make sculptures of the landscapes on the moon and the planets, and paint celestial scenes and landscapes. The background picture is from the Atacama Desert in July 2019, towards the Alma Radio Astronomy Observatory. This is a rare example of how the light-pollution free sky looks.
