new member introduction, august 10th 2001.
hello,
within this group i am a new member and like to introduce myself. i
am hans winkelaar, male, 44 years of age, and i like astronomy since
i was 12.
to sponsor my expensive hobby (i like big telescopes) i do some
trading in optical articles. for hobby i do a lot of telescope
building and like to discuss with others about several issues within
astronomical aspects. as an example i developed the rainpipe
refractor technique, to prove that it is possible to build a "low
budget" telescope with acceptable quality out of a pvc rainpipe,
using a good achromat.
since i have not a private website, please see my picture with my
6"/f5 rainpipe travel telescope on :
http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/hanwin007/
within the netherlands where i live, i do some instruction every
month to a group of interested astronomers who like to learn about
self building telescopes.
if there are any question on topic, please ask me within the list,
and for other info of topic, you can ask me off-list on
hans.winkelaar@... (/group/asc2k/post?postid=ynkxyw04geeukqsezc7g04phpnxejsciqv8ak_ nejnxcgvnbuw6gbholwqf8mtonfl5z_db62kjtevdqdd-o)
the fact that i live in the netherlands and that i join foreign
groups is the result of my interest in worldwide cultures and the
astronomy is a good basis for that.
thank you all and enjoy your astronomy.
