Hello from Czech Republic!

Hi, my name is Pavel Böhm (Pavebo) and I am an amateur astronomer living in Czech Republic in city of West Bohemia – Plzeň (I think everybody knows pilsner beer…). Unfortunately, it is little bit light polluted place, so I prefer to do mainly astrophotography as observing the DSO is nearly impossible here. Equipment I am using: SW Dobson 16” GoTo, Meade 10” ACF, Meade 12”SCT, Mount Gemini G42+ Observatory.

I have found this forum as a result of looking for more information concerning faint DSO like Arps, Abells, Hicksons, VVs …are. It is really great place here, collecting nice resources!!! I hoppe that it will help me to find more interesting targets for my scopes.

You can find all my pictures in my gallery: http://www.astrofotky.cz/~Pavebo/ (Unfortunately, there is only Czech description) , so I have enclosed several recent pictures - see enclosure.

Clear Skies!
