Hello fellow astrophotographers, I am Nicola (or Nico), born and bred Italian, although I consider myself Irish by adoption, and l’ve just joined Astrobin! My background is quite technical, being an Electronic and Computer Engineer, even though I have spent many years now in high tech sales. I am passionate about science and technology, and up to over a year ago I had just a dormant passion for astronomy, which flared up recently and evolved in my current interest in astrophotography. I am a beginner, although I have been "beginning" for quite some time now, but with this hobby it's hard to say when one really becomes an intermediate or an expert, with so much to learn all the time. I will start by uploading some of the images that I have been experimenting with and use any feedback to improve and get inspired for new projects. That's it for now. Thanks for reading!
Well Written Respectful Engaging
