Hello dear sky-observers!

I'm a 34 years old spanish guy living in Germany since 2011. I've started looking at the sky just with my eyes, then eventually I bought binoculars and finally I got a telescope, and then another one ^^. Now, I'm starting in the amazing world of astrophotography.

I observe mainly in a small city not very far away from Nürnberg, but far enough to avoid a little bit the light contamination.

I've just started and I have a AZEQ6GT and a ZWO camera, but no guiding system. I'm trying to learn first, get familiar and win some experience before I get to the next step. I can do therefore short exposures and the pictures are not great, but I'm enjoying it and it's a lot of fun!! And Astrobin is such a great place to learn and enjoy the beautiful pictures that other users upload!

See you around in the forums! I wish you clear skies
