Welcome to DeepSkyJam web site.
I have been interested in amateur astronomy when
I was teenager at about 15 years old.
22 years later, I decided to start serious stargazing
and bought my third telescope.
After using respectively a 2.36" (60mm) refractor
and a 4.54" (115mm) newtonian reflector, I'm
now glad to enjoy astronomy with a Meade LX200
GPS 14" (355mm) purchased directly in the
USA during a trip in spring 2005.
Should you go through my web site you could find
some information about the equipment described before
and tech-notes about some home made modifications
I made to use my setup in a better way
I invite you to visit regularly so as to follow
me along my learning curve and above all do not
hesitate to send me your comments
and suggestions. May
your reading be just as enjoyable as my writing
of this web site was. I wish you to spend a great
time on DeepSkyJam.com.

| My interest in
astro-imaging will be not to take just wonderful deep
sky photos but to use this quality of photos to study
deep sky objects like super nova, variable start
but also comets and minor planet, because
my main goal is to contribute to international program
like the small telescope program of the Nasa for Deep
Impact. |

To improve my efficiency in astronomy
I working to build an observatory to
housed my setup and polar aligned the LX200 GPS permanently
for avoid to go out with the equipment and connected
it each time I'm stargazing. .>>

To start at the bottom of
the learning curve of astro-imaging I purchased a basic
CCD camera from Meade too. It's a Meade DSI (Deep
Sky Image) camera.
To control the Meade LX200 GPS, I use SkyMap Pro
and I take CCD image from Envisage.
After to learn some skill and take enough knowledge
with this setup I plan to obtained a SBIG ST-2000XM
camera. Before the end of decade I plan too to change
the mount of the LX200 to a high quality mount like
Paramount or Bisk. >>

They are so many people
who have been interested in astronomy in my country, so to
stay in touch with this community I'm registered in 9 Yahoo!
groups to learn more about different aspects of astronomy.
Tanks to a personal software I can managed more than 15,100
e-mails and more than 231,700 keys words in indexed
data base and can automatically download each week around
150 new e-mails from those groups. In the same interface
but in different database I have indexed some interested articles
of Sky & Telescope and information from Internet
to help me during astronomy session.
