Astronomy is one of the finest hobbies, but - as always - there is not enough time to spent :-(
My telescope is a 6-inch Maksutov (Intes Mikro) - still missing a drive in elevation :-(, to be able to guide with a second CCD automatically.
On the pictures behind the scope you can see the total eclipse of the sun (11.8.1999) - taken near Munich (through a hole in the clouds at the right time)
One project is on hold for far too long - the cookbook CCD-camera for astro-pictures :-(
End of 2022: I added a Neptune-C II (Player One) to my equipment
I have stopped my tries to find Seti (one graphics card was broken, the electricity costs sum up ...) =>
Here you can see my last BOINC-stati of 03.01.2013:
