Right from the begining I was fascinated by the Stars. In winter on the way to my grandparents the 3 stars of the belt of Orion came out behind the Bichlalm one of our local mountains. I had to find out which stars they are...

First I observed the constellations. Later I got my first telescope - a TASCO 114 mm Newtowian-Teleskop (siehe below) - and I discovered the universe with the moon, planets and distant starclusters and nebulae. I found out how few people look to the stars in a clear night - did you ever see a falling star?

Later with a C8 (see equipment) I startet imaging and was captivated to get objects which you´ll never see with the naked eye. With long exposures you can discover the colossal beauty of our universe, and our mind doesn´t suffice to imagine how endless it is. At the gallery you can find some of these views. Maybe then you also feel the fascination I feel whenever I look to the night sky...
