I've been involved in astronomy since 1997. Then I joined the Uranoscope de l'Ile de France  and dive into the joy of CCD imaging. The site will presents you material and techniques mostly based on the ETX, 150/750, FS-78 and GP mount.

Catalogs, docs

Double-star catalog (zipped pdf , 21ko)
    Coords, mags, colors, SAO number and LX200 database number
ARP galaxies (pdf zipped, 7ko)
    Interacting, clusters, spiral. Very spectacular indeed .Obsevers need quite a dark sky and a big scope to see them. For CCD, they are difficult to shoot because of their faintness ! More infos on this very good site
NGC/SkyAtlas pagee(zipped pdf , 60ko)
    Very useful. This doc has no object info (except the type of the object) but their SkyAtlas page.
