Astrophotography for Advanced Photographers by Claude Kirchen

Hello fellow stargazers, today's post is the last in our little series about astrophotographers.

Hello Claude, it's great that you took the time. How did you get into astrophotography?

Hello, I've been interested in astronomy since childhood. It all started at school.

In 2011, I finally fulfilled my dream – a 10-inch Dobsonian Flextube Synscan. Things really took off in 2012 :-))

Later, I treated myself to a NEQ6 with an 8-inch GSO, and so on.

I do astrophotography on my own; I enjoy the sky, the peace and quiet, and nature. Simply wonderful!

About three years ago, I had a garden observatory built. That finally put an end to all the lugging around.

I do astrophotography from my garden observatory. I'm not traveling by car, because I still have a good sky here.

Thanks for your contribution, Claude.
