Astronomy is my favourite hobby. I am an active member of the Groupe d'Astronomie de Spa (GAS, http://www.groupeastronomiespa.be) since 1997.
Below, two pictures taken at a conference in 2001: next to reknown astronomer Hubert Reeves, you will see several members of the GAS, including myself.

I own three telescopes:
My first "real" telescope (the one you effectively use) was a Meade ETX-90/EC (Maksutov Cassegrain, very portable; bought 1999, resold 2006). Lovely little beauty. I also had one Celestron C9.25  (Schmidt Cassegrain, bought 12.2002 resold 1.2007)) which itself replaced - and by far outperformed - a Meade 8in LX200; the C9.25 is a wonderful instrument but was too rarely used to justify keeping it (blame the skies here !).
 
The three telescopes are used on a Astro-Physics Mach1 german equatorial mount since December 2007. I previously owned a Vixen New Atlux mount with SkySensor2000PC (here shown with the NP127, and here with the VC200L and FS60C).
 
The FS60C is used for wide-field imaging, as a separate guider (using an SBIG STV - now sold, using the guiding SX camera) and for solar observing. The FS60C is also a very convenient setup for visual observing in white light, using a Herschel wedge (here shown with TeleVue solar finder - very useful - and 3-6 mm zoom, on Manfrotto tripod). The FS60C is the short tube model. As the solar observing virus catched me, a Coronado 60/10 SolarMax H-alpha filter (installed on the FS60C) has completed the setup.
 
You will find below:
A webcam has been acquired in october 2001. This provides a good start in CCD astronomy. This is a Philips ToUcam Pro CCD.
Next came a CCD camera from Starlight Xpress, model MX916, replaced in 2005 by model SXV-H9 and its small guider.
And finally (end 2006) a Canon 20Da - now resold - joined the team. In Summer 2008, I acquired a OSC CCD camera, the SXVF-M25C (bought second-hand from Dietmar Hager), again from Starlight.
 
Hereafter two pictures showing a typical setup for visual observing (NP127 on Mach1):

I publish every 2 months, in the regular issue of my club's Bulletin, a description (in French) of the "Constellation of the Month":

And from time to time, an article from myself is published there as well (again in French unless specified otherwise...):
 
 
 Some interesting (I hope) documents:
 
Some useful tools (borrowed from the web):
