1, How to browse this site

The site contains astronomy photographs, which are the best visible, if the computer monitor is set to see all levels of brightness.
If the monitor is properly set up, you must see each shade of gray separately. If no, you must adjust brightness and contrast of your monitor to achieve such result. Pay more attention to the darkest steps - they should be as dark as possible while you should be able to distinguish them.

Some pages contains animations and videos, so downloading can take more time.

You can visit various parts of this site by using menu items on the left side of the page.

2, History of my hobby

Astronomy was my hobby since the age of 12. I found my old astronomy diary from 1981. This contains interesting sketchs of constellations and positions of planets. Because of small chance to become a professional astronomer (and impossibility to aquire some telescope in former Czechoslovakia) my parents guided my hobby to electrornics and I became a radioamateur...

But 11.8.1999 there was a total eclipse of Sun. It was observable from neighbouring Hungary. So we decided to take a trip. It was very nice experience. And I returned to my first love - Astronomy. The return was very interesting, because from the time of childhood I gained a lot of knowledeges in physics, space geometry and so on. I am very happy that possibility of amateur astronomy are large now.
