Hello to all!
I do live close to Frankfurt, Germany under light polluted skies. After years of teaching myself alone in how to use and setup my scope for astrophotographers, I finally reached my first goal to get results worth sharing. Thanks to Astrobackyard and Chuckˋs Astrophotography! I only do astrophotos, just sometimes visual.
Like for my other hobby, aviation photography, I am investing like a pro, but very satisfied my equipment now. Now it’s time for me learning how to edit astrophotos, as it is totally different compared to „normal“ photo edits.
Hoping to improve, but already hoping you will already enjoy my photos!

cheers

Welcome to astrobin, Bjoern.

Frankfurt area is light polluted like the Ruhr area. This is a nice extra challenge. Good to have you abord. Looking forward to more pictures from yours.

Best regards from Dortmund
