About Amr Abdulwahab:
an ardent astrophotographer and astrophysicist and president of Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud Astronomical Society I have been beguiled by the night sky since I was a kid growing up in a village in Upper Egypt with no electricity and light pollution. The sky was stunning and it drew me to connect with it.
