Biography
I
have been sky-shooting since 1989 under the clear skies of the Austrian
Alps, Canary
Islands and the deserts of Namibia with my friend Michael Jäger who
discovered
Comet P/1998 U3 in 1998. I am primarily interested in the search and
photographic
observation of comets using our CCD cameras. But, I also enjoy
photographing other deep
sky objects for their aesthetic value. Together with Craig Crossen I
published my first book "Sky Vistas" (Springer Wien, NewYork: ISBN
3-211-00851-7) in December 2003.
For many years I owned a camera store and photo studio, but in 2004 became
the sales
manager for Astro Systeme Austria -- a company who will produce optical
systems and
mounts for the fastidious astrophotographer.
