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.

Petite explication pour nos membres depuis le confinement j'explore le net et j'ai découvert plusieurs communautés très active d'evscope. tout particulièrement PETRI.

Little explanation for our members since the confinement I explore the net and I discovered several very active communities of evscope. especially PETRI TIKKANEN.



Welcome to you on our tasty forum European mix of astronomers. Our goal is electronic astronomy, share our observations, but also develop different projects and montages. We are all anxious to discover your observations at the evscope and especially the last of the impressive messier marathon. discover this forum if you care about us. will help you.

Welcome

[Lambda]

Terve, Petri!

It is super cool to see you aboard. Welcome in our little community...
I suspect we will learn a lot from you... Hoping that we can bring some little thing to you also and your projects in exchange...

You will see, here it is a bit like a kind of crypto-zoo in the domain of amateur astronomy, and also night vision...
One goal here.. To have fun by observing sky, sharing our results and ideas, while using any kind of technical means available, promoting the DIY spirit, playing with old military materials, exotic optics, low cost ressources, improvised solutions, whatever...

Amyway, feel confortable here, drop down your bag, take a sit around the fire and take a coffee freshly prepared from the Opa!

See you.

Hi @PetriTikkanen

Welcome here, small but prolific community and above all without a headache.
I started my day by looking at your pictures on my phone, I'm going to go look at it on a bigger screen.

Welcome onboard

As @Lambda is saying here we try to experiment and have fun

@ouki said you use the eVscope... I'm very curious to see the first results

[PetriTikkanen]

You can find some of my eVscope images from here:
Observations VA / eVscope

Aand aslo my Facebook folder eVscope is public.

Welcome aboard!

I’m very glad to see you here, and your EVscope!
I hope you will find our place at your taste, despite the language barrier.
But be advise that you can post everything you have to say in english, this is not a problem at all

Welcome Petri to the AVA website's forum.
Thanks to @ouki our forum is becoming International, which is very good. Astronomy has no frontier !

[clouzot]

Indeed. We do have that handy Google translate bar should you need to post in English. Or in Suomi if you want

Bienvenue à toi @PetriTikkanen
Et dans 'l'attente de tes observations avec l'eVscope.

Welcome to you @PetriTikkanen
And in 'pending your observations with eVscope.
