Welcome!

Welcome to my homepage! This page was created due to my interest in amateur astronomy. Here I put all my pictures I take at night, together with a few notes so that I can come back here many years later and read it as a diary. You can also sign my guestbook if there is anything that you wonder about this page, or if you just want to say hello!
