These pages represent images from the Davidson College Astrophotography Project led by Dr. Mario Belloni of the Davidson College Physics Department.  All photos were taken in Davidson, NC either on campus or at the Pine Road Observatory.  The astrophotographs in the the Astronomy Courses section were taken by students in an introductory astronomy class.  The astrophotographs in the the Personal section were taken by Mario Belloni.  The goal of the Project is to explore the universe beyond what we can see with our naked eyes by using telescopes and cameras.
