welcome
Welcome to my personal webpage. On this site you’ll find my astrophotography work and information about my professional profile and collaborations.
I am Aleix Roig. I live in Prades (Tarragona, Catalonia – Spain) where I have the Astrocat Observatory.
I work in astronomy management and outreach at Parc Astronòmic Muntanyes de Prades @parcastroprades and Mizar Xperience @mizarxperience . Our project focuses on astrotourism and the protection of the dark sky.
I would like to thank my wife and my family for all their support, and to all the people that inspired and helped me along the way. Now more than ever “if we have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants” (Sir Isaac Newton).
Support my work!

A Deep Triangulum Galaxy Surrounded by IFN
Last fall 2023 I captured several tens of hours of images on the Triangulum galaxy, Messier 33, that I processed this January 2025 from scratch. I used the popular broadband approach (LRGB), but also gathered more than 100 hours in narrow band filters, Ha and [OIII],...
