” The same rollercoaster journey happened to Harshwardhan (21), who out of curiosity went to the Indira Gandhi Planetarium to have a look at the celestial events using a telescope under the guidance of senior scientific officer Sumit Srivastava. Indira Gandhi Planetarium supported me a lot by providing the equipment and helping me with image processing which is the main aspect of astrophotography. It’s made available by various astronomical organizations at nominal rates. His second astronomical photo NGC 3372 (Carina Nebula) was also featured in APOD Astronomica, which publishes astronomy photos globally. We are proud of his achievements,” says senior scientific officer Sumit Srivastava of the Indira Gandhi Planetarium.
