I began Astronomy 23 years ago with a small achromatic refractor. Since 7 years, I began the CCD imaging of the Deep Sky and since 2 years I take High Resolution CCD pictures about nebulas and galaxies. I use my 2 WO Triplet APO refractors and my Meade 12" UHTC SCT OTA (will be replaced by a 12" Richtey-Chr?tien in the future). I am 33 years old.
