The Rocket Garden
 

During my trip to Florida I had the chance to meet, Andrew, a great amateur astronomeur. Andrew leave in the north of Florida near Daytona Beach and is an engineer for the Nasa. He practices astronomy since 1980. Today he becomes an expert in CCD imaging. He used a large game of astronomical material, at least 3 CCD cameras from SBIG, 3 SCT telescope from Meade. He used a large 28" home made RC telescope (its base and the equatorial mount shown below). Andrew is an expert in telescope design as well as the CCD prosessing.
I would like to said a special thank to Andrew, his wife and their friends for their hospitality.
