This is just my small home for my astrophotographys in the unlimited and space like internet. Astrophotography is a very new hobby for me. I made my first images in december 2019 with a newly bought Skywatcher Sky Adventurer and using my Nikon D5700 and a 300mm telephoto lens. I’m still learning something new every night.

It’s a hobby I do for fun and interesst in science. As a child I have been fascinated with space, space travel and everything that belongs in this area.

In 2019 I got into contact with astrophotography. A collegue of mine showed me his photos from the moon and other targets and I was in awe. I caught fire on the spot and wanted to try this too. So a big thanks to Thomas for showing me a new world that’s waiting to be explored.

The results of my adventure and experiments will be shown on this homepage. I wish you fun and I hope you will like the photos. But please remember…. I’m not a professional photographer or astronom. So there can and will be mistakes. You are free to shoot me a message so that I can fix them. 😉
