About

Hi, I’m Manandeep Singh, the founder of MananStellar Observatory. What began as a childhood fascination with the night sky has now grown into a rooftop professional observatory where I capture every celestial event and also welcome visitors to explore the night sky with me.

From photographing the Moon and eclipses to documenting rare planetary alignments, I aim to preserve and share the beauty of the cosmos. But this observatory isn’t just about my work — it’s about giving others the chance to experience astronomy up close. Visitors here can look through telescopes, witness celestial wonders, and even try their hand at astrophotography.

MananStellar Observatory is my way of combining passion with purpose: to inspire curiosity, spark learning, and make the universe feel a little closer for everyone who visits.

🎯 Introduction

I am a passionate and self‑driven student with a deep interest in space science, astrophotography, writing, and science communication. Actively involved in creative and scientific pursuits, including writing books, sky observation, educational outreach, and astrophotography.
