Hello!
My name is Justus Falk and I am a 17-year-old astrophotographer from the beautiful north of Germany. I literally live between two seas. I became interested in astronomy when I saw the ISS flying overhead for the first time. After that I really wanted to know more. I wanted to know what else was out there in space. That's how I finally got into astrophotography.

I am now a member of the Neumünster Observatory, which is well known in the North-German astronomical community. 
I also have a dome observatory in my garden, where a 10" Newtonian is permanently installed. However, I have not committed myself to a specific astrophotographic area. I do quite a lot - from spectroscopy to planetary photography with the help of Lucky Imaging. And of course deep-sky astrophotography.

I am therefore pleased to be able to show my pictures here and to share this wonderful hobby with you.
Clear skies to you all!
Justus Falk

Hallo Justus, 
herzlich willkommen bei Astrobin. Ich sitze beinahe um die Ecke, nördlich von Lübeck. Vielleicht trifft man sich mal bei einem Event. Das Universum ist ja auch nicht viel mehr als ein etwas größeres Dorf. ;-)
Clear skies!

Ich beneide dich jetzt um dein Observatorium. Sowas hätte ich auch gern, statt immer alles rauszuschleppen und aufzubauen. Aber die Mühe ist es trotzdem immer wieder wert.
Clear skies,
