Well my name is Carl O'Beirnes I live in Balbriggan Co Dublin in Ireland. I've been an Amateur Astronomer
for a number of years but what I have the bug for is Astrophtography I love being out under the stars and imaging the planets moon and deep sky objects. The equipment I use is a Celestron 14" CGE telescope for imaging the Planets and I use a William Optics FLT-110 Triplet APO refractor Atik 16Hr cdd camera for DSO. There is a few of us who share a website called www.webtreatz.com is where we post all our images. I have been on the Sky at Night a few times with Sir Patrick Moore that was great fun, Well that is a bit about me in a nut shell.
Here is a sample of what I like to do

Carl.
