My first telescope was a 4½” Newton of poor quality. First modification was a RA drive made of an old tape recorder and my parents alarm clock. Many years passed with education and differet work but without astronomy until summer 2007 when I found a good SCT and build an observatory in my garden. November 2007 it was ready – what a luxury!

I needed a project to test both equipment and skills and decided to try to observe an exoplanet. 17th February I succeeded with theobservation of XO-2b and later same year also other exoplanets were observed sucessfully. This also was the first exoplanet observation from Denmark. Currently I’m in a learning process of making astrophotography – a very time consuming but interesting work with possible stunning results.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”works” bg_overlay=”dark” css=”.vc_custom_1434521626919{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #fdfdfd !important;border-top-color: #eeeeee !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #eeeeee !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column][special_heading title=”Gallery” subtitle=”My visual results” animated=”no” margin_bottom=”0″ color=”dark”][portfolio_grid filter=”no” cats=”photography”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”contact” bg_overlay=”darker” css=”.vc_custom_1434492134173{padding-bottom: 70px !important;background-color: #7a7a7a !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” darken=”light”][vc_column][special_heading title=”Keep in Touch” subtitle=”I would be happy to hear from you !” color=”dark”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row parallax=”yes” el_id=”contact” bg_overlay=”darker” css=”.vc_custom_1405424323297{background-image: url(http://starworks.dk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/i51.jpg?id=540) !important;}”][vc_column][contact_block phone=”+45 2826 1617″ address=”Tingbakken 88, 8883 Gjern, Denmark” email=”nh@starworks.dk” ][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”fullwidth” css=”.vc_custom_1405425125857{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][gmap lat=”56.23667188068738″ long=”9.74532409843906″ zoom=”11″ marker1_text=”Starworks Observatory” marker1_location_custom=”56.23667188068738,9.74532409843906″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
