General Information

My main interest is photographing socalled DSOs or Deep Space Objects. These are generally very large but very dim, therefore low magnification, a very sensitive camera and good guiding are essential. The photos from our solar system on the other hand show very small, bright objects. These were photographed mainly with a webcam and simple refractor telescope.
