>Hi friends,
>
>as a new member of the egroup GUIDE-Forum I would like to introduce
>myself:
>I am an amateur astronomer since 1975 and since that time my interest
>in astronomical topics changed from sky hopping, counting of sunspots
>to visual and photoelectric photometry (Optec SSP3-Photometer) of
>variable stars.
>But due to the very bad weather condition here in northern Germany and
>the lack of a permanent observing place my interest switched to desktop
>astronomy. Fortunately in our times we can use the Internet to
>participate in almost every topic of professional and amateur
>astronomy. Using the information pool of the Internet I am now mostly
>interested in Supernovae, Nucleosynthesis and Gamma-Ray-Bursts.
>My very small instruments consists of a Vixen Sensor mount, an 80 mm
>Refractor and a Celestron 5.
>I am an chemical engineer working in marine chemistry (trace elements
>in sea water).
>I am married and have two sons.
>
>Clear skies and a fast link to the Internet
>
>Peter

>P.S. I hope, that all of you will follow me with an introduction of
>your person
