Carine Souplethas been observing the sky since childhood, with a preference for deep sky and astronomical drawing. Used to leading practical observation workshops, she knows how to pass on her knowledge in the field to both young and old. She has also worked for 10 years for the monthly Astronomie Magazine.

Bertrand d’Armagnac has always been passionate about astronomy. After an initial career as a space engineer, he published the first Stelvision works based on his experience as an observer and his taste for pedagogy. He is the author of the sky map Stelvision 365 and the guide The Sky through Binoculars, which have helped many beginners take their first steps in the sky.
