On my Homeage on Astronomy and Astrophotography you will find information about me and what I am doing. I am an amateur astronomer since 30 years. 25 years ago I started taking pictures of the night sky. For many years I only had a tripod and a camera. Today I own several telescopes for taking photos and watching the sky visually. I offer on my homepage: 1. CCD-astrophotography from my location Buxtehude (near Hamburg, Germany). Objects are comets, the sun, the moon, planets, stars and clusters, supernovae, galaxies and nebulae (emission and dark nebulae) 2. My experience with my telescopes and doing astrophotography 3. Many links to astronomy related websites

 

Welcome to www.astro-photos.net

 

My homepage is continiously expanded and updated. Please revisit this website frequently!

I like to take photos of deep sky objects with a CCTV camera and a cooled CCD-camera from my backyard in a small town in Northern Germany but unfortunately under a light polluted sky.
Enjoy !
