Framed Photography Robert Gendler/Stocktrek Images Wall Art

Robert Gendler is a physician living with his wife and 2 children in Connecticut. His interest in astronomy dates back to his childhood in New York where he made regular visits to the Hayden Planetarium. Gendler remembers very well the great feelings of excitement and discovery when he was looking at the splendid astrophotographs produced by the big observatories of those days. Astrophotography especially remained little more than a dream to him until he moved to Connecticut in 1993 from New York City. He took an introductory course in astronomy at a local college, after which he purchased a pair of binoculars and spent about one and a half years learning the night sky. He then purchased his first telescope with which he spent his time observing many deep sky objects whenever the weather permitted. He has many pleasant memories of his early experiences using that telescope. Gendler remembers the grand feeling of pride and accomplishment upon discovering distant galaxies in the eyepiece of the telescope. This was really exciting but deep down he longed to take images like the ones he looked at in astonishment earlier in his life. His next purchases were a CCD camera and a 10" Schmidt Cassegrain. This was a significant step forward. These equipment gave him his start in astroimaging. Gendler’s first images of nebulae and distant galaxies were of only mediocre quality but they encouraged him to go forward with color CCD imaging. He continued to improve his techniques until he’s today able to produce high quality images. Framed Robert Gendler art have become a very common feature in many galleries.
