About Me
I had my first contact with astronomy at the age of 14. At that time I visited the public observatory in Traiskirchen and was fascinated by the telescopes and the night sky at first sight.
My interest in astrophotography became apparent after a short time. At that time I made my first experiences with taking pictures of celestial objects. A few years later the digital revolution "took place" and new and unimagined possibilities opened up in astrophotography. A lot has changed since then. I am currently operating my remote observatory in Styria. At regular intervals I "treat myself" to a bit of variety and take pictures under the perfect sky in Namibia.
In any case, astronomy and astrophotography is one of the most interesting and fascinating hobby ever.
