Hello everyone, 

My name is Jérémy, I am 39 years old at the time of writing this, and I live in the southwest of France, near the city of Bordeaux. I have been practicing astronomy for over 15 years, but I only recently started photographing the sky. I have been registered on the site for several years, but I’ve only been active for a few days. Previously, I used Astrobin to look at the photos posted by other users. Now, I am becoming (step by step) a contributor. smile

I look forward to sharing with you and being inspired by your creations and advice. Feel free to follow me. smile

See you soon!

Jérémy

PS: I apologize for my English, it is not my native language. smile

Thank you very much for your message, @Salvatore Iovene

The photo required a lot of work from me (especially with a 90/500 telescope, which doesn't provide many details on this type of object). But unfortunately, that's not enough for the IOTD/TP.  

I'll try to do better next time.

Thank you, @Mike H! It's true that the city of Bordeaux is better known for its wine than for astronomy.
