AMIT
FOUNDER / LEAD OBSERVER
What began as a single tracked camera on a rooftop grew into a working studio with a shared archive, a rigorous capture standard and a small crew that treats every night of clear sky as a limited resource.
His position is simple: an astronomical image is a measurement first and a picture second. If the capture notes cannot be published beside the frame, the frame does not go out.

Timeline
First tracked camera on a rooftop in India; the first usable Orion stack.
Capture standard written down: logged seeing, matched calibration sets, no painted colour.
The archive opens publicly, with raw stacks preserved alongside every published frame.
AetherX works alongside Aetheris Software and Aethero Studio as one studio group.
