Welcome to Grimée Observatory
Astrophotography of the Night Sky of the South of Belgium
Sorry, this site is currently unavailable because of technical problems
at our web hosting provider (www.hosteur.com).
Please come back in a few days to enjoy my astrophotographies.
This site contains an overview of my amateur CCD astrophotography made
in my dome observatory located in my light polluted garden in Bonnert near Arlon
in Belgium.
The astronomical CCD images on these pages were taken using a variety of equipment over
the years, including for planetary, lunar and solar astrophotography a ToUcam Pro
webcam and a Meade LPI,
and for deep sky astrophotography
a Starlight Xpress MX5C one-shot color CCD camera,
a SBIG ST-2000XCM large one-shot color CCD camera
and finally my last camera : a SBIG ST-10XME camera, a large, very sensitive
monochrome camera.
These imagers were mounted on the following telescopes:
a Meade ETX90 (90mm f/13.8) Maksutov-Cassegrain reflector,
a Meade 10" LX200GPS SMT (254mm f/10) Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector,
a Takahashi FS-102 (102mm f/8) fluorite apochromatic refractor,
and finally the famous Takahashi FSQ-106 (106mm f/5) fluorite quadruplet apochromatic refractor.
Preserve a dark sky in harmony with the
UNESCO universal declaration of future generation rights:

to an uncontaminated and undamaged Earth,
including pure skies."
