Mr. Cherney's core business is an IT consultant, but the time it took to photograph this picture has actually reached 18 months. The shooting was a new moon, or evening of a crescent moon, and it took place at a time when the interference of light from the moon became the smallest.


Mr. Cherney was also the father of two children, and it was the influence of the daughter who was interested in the celestial body. Cherney said, "I asked my daughter who had returned from school with homework to ask if he could find an alien and decided to go to a local astronomical club together.When I saw the telescope for the first time, I could not turn back I was fascinated. "


In addition, Mr. Cherney says, "In most developed countries, air pollution has advanced, people living there can not see the starry sky like this picture even if you look up at the night sky Luck in living in Australia It was that the stars could be seen without departing far away from the light of the city.I hope my picture gives me a chance to notice what really is in the night sky. " I am talking about the sense of crisis about air pollution.


Mr. Cherney says about this work, "I do not think I will see this work as a finished product, I want to continue this work as long as I can. I am hoping that everyone will touch the starry sky that might possibly be through this picture, "he says about his enthusiasm and hope.
