    Hello from Finland!

    I'm a Finnish amateur astronomer, living in Turku, Finland. As an amateur astronomer, I'm a visual observer, and I'm very interested in observing different kind of objects. I'm interested in observing variable stars, but I have also been doing astronomical sketching, focusing mostly on objects of the deep sky. Besides deep sky, I have also been observing and sketching objects of our Solar system. I have currently three different telescopes: 10'' Newton and two small refractors, 4'' and 3''. Besides these instruments, I also do some observing with small 7x18 binoculars and with naked eye.

    If you are interested, please have a look at my blog/site about amateur astronomy: http://celest1alsphere.wordpress.com/

    Best wishes and clear skies to you!

    Welcome to the forum! I am looking forward to seeing your deep-sky sketches, etc., on these pages. I like your website and the picture you have of your observing setting. (Looks very much like home to me... which would be south of the border
