作品直接以「歐洲南方天文台」(European Southern Observatory)的負片創作而成,大小依望遠鏡所使用的底片尺寸而定
就學時期,魯夫深受天文學所吸引,不亞於攝影對他的吸引力。因此對他來說,將夜空轉換成或多或少抽象的影像主題,構成有許多白點的黑色表面,是再合理不過的。由於無法以現有的攝影設備創作出高品質的專業天文影像,他決定利用歐洲南方天文台(ESO)資料庫裡的 1,212張負片原始檔。該資料庫擁有一系列由安地斯山脈上特殊望遠鏡所拍攝之南半球蒼穹的科學影像。魯夫從這些負片(29 x 29 公分)裡,依自己所定義的六個不同類別選取片段。

The prints were made direct from the "European Southern Observatory" negatives. The section was decided by the size of the film used with the telescope
As a school pupil Ruff was as fascinated by astronomy as he was by photography. To him it therefore seemed only logical to turn the night sky into the theme for more or less abstract images that were to consist of a black surface with many white dots. Since he did not see how he would be able to achieve the quality of professional astronomic images with the photographic equipment available to him, he resolved to work with original copies of the 1,212 negatives of the "European Southern Observatory" (ESO) archive. The archive houses a collection of scientific shots of the firmament in the southern hemisphere taken using a special telescope in the Andes. Ruff chose sections from these negatives (sized 29 x 29 cm) that he defined according to six different categories.
