Who am I?
My name is and I am an amateur astronomer, a member of the Pixels et Cassoulet group. Click on my name to contact me by email.
This website is maily about astroimaging. My hardware is as follow:
- an Orion 80ED APO refractor for autoguiding and shooting of planets,
- a GSO 150mm/750mm Newtonian for deep sky photos,
- a Vixen GP-DX mount with the SkySensor 2000 PC system,
- a ToUCam webcam.,
- a Canon 300D digital camera.
I am also part of the Audela Core Team. Audela is a very flexible, free, open-source software and I recommend it highly! This is what I mainly use for astrophotography.
I live in the South of France, about 40 km North of Toulouse so that my night sky is not too bad.
