Hi everyone. I'm an amateur astronomer from Lithuania, but working in Riga for last 5 years. My main job is flying B737 for Airbaltic airlines, but when I'm on days off, and have clear nights, I spend them in my backyard observatory close to Vilnius. Got into astrophotography back in 2008, after buying my first skywatcher 200/1000 telescope. After a few years of freezing outside, decided to build roll off roof observatory with a warm room. Things became a lot easier since then. Presently I have three telescopes. APM107/700 APO refractor, I bring it down to 107/525 with Ricardi 0.75 reducer. Another one is GSO RC10 Ritchey Cretien. I also have skywatcher 250 Quattro carbon edition, but this telescope is currently for sale. My imaging camera is QSI683 wsg8 with full set of narrow band astrodon 3nm filters. Two weeks ago I had a short vacation, so got some luck to image Rosette nebula. Photo was made using Ha, OIII and SII filters, APM107 APO. I'd like to get more SII data someday.
I found your forum, and decided to join, hope, you don't mind . Sorry for using English, it is too complicated for me to write in Russian, but I can speak. Will be posting more images soon. I'm a member of Lithuanian astronomy club as well , so maybe, we could arrange some star parties together and get our astronomy society closer . Paldies
