Over the years I explored so many beautiful objects in the night sky with telescope, binoculars and dslr thanks to my twitter friend
Ramiz he was the one who introduced me to the Astronomy. I usually spent my nights on my roof just looking at the stars and try to capture some pictures if the sky is clear cos sometimes it bit hazy or too much light pollution. Here are some of my best photographs and some of them has been featured on different websites or on their facebook or twitter accounts.
First one is the Mercury and the Venus conjunction at the beginning of this year. This was the first time I've seen Planet Mercury. I've seen the path of Mercury and on the 11th Jan. they became close enough so I took an early off from my office just to capture this beautiful picture from my roof.

But when I submitted that picture on
Earthsky website and they posted it on their twitter account, it got 21 RTs and 31 favs. and that was my picture featured on any website and I was so excited about this.
After that I captured an
ISS (International Space Station) pass in Karachi and I posted it on my instagram from their
