I have always been interested in the 'heavens above', but never really had the time for astronomy. I am a retired (December 1999) business consultant and early 2001 - on a clear winter night - I walked my dog Duko and looked up again. That was the turning point: I went to a 5 evening astronomy course, bought a telescope and built The FIRMAMENT Observatory
Via the QCUIAG I learned that it is possible to capture images by using a Webcam camera! I captured my very first image in October 2001.
About my images: please note that you cannot use my images without my explicite approval.
Should anybody yet do so I will charge Euro 150 per image: so you better ask my permission in advance (which usually is granted at no costs).
Best regards,
Jan B. Timmermans, Valkenswaard, The Netherlands
