Hi!
I'm from Jyväskylä which is located in Finland. Astronomy has been my hobby for 40 years.
I got my Unistellar eVcsope at January and I'm building my own little radiotelescope.
I'm member of The Planetary Society (international), URSA (national) and Jyväskylän Sirius (local).
The Jyväskylän Sirius is a small 200 member local astronomy club in Jyväskylä Finland and I'm board member on it.
We are just a small group but we have done great things:
- first Finnish amateur group to find new asteroids
- second in world to find GRB
- first in world to observe exoplanet
We have 3 observatories with 4 towers and 4 telescopes, all-sky cameras (some specified to auroras from Japanese university), magnetometers from national weather organization, one radiotelescope and our new aurora sound listening station.
One 16" RC telescope is remotely controlled and we use it mainly for photometry (asteroids, cataclysmic variables etc).
Summer is coming fast. In few months midnight sun will be so bright that the stars disapear from the sky and I must pack my telescope to wait the next winter. During summer time I can build my radiotelescope and maybe build my own all-sky camera from old DSLR and Raspberry Pi.
