My name is Álvaro.
I'm a spanish astrophotographer. Around 2012 I buy my first telescope (70/700 achromatic refractor) and my first Canon DSLR camera and I started taking pictures of the sky and beeing doing it ever since. Currently I have a triplet refractor 115/800 and a monochrimatic Atik 460EX CCD. Constantly I avoid light pollution in my city, Madrid, and I have to travel more than 200km usually to take photographs of quality.

I present my last work... the NGC2244 core in HaRGB, only at 632mm focal lenght...

Telescope: Refractor TS115 Triplet APO
Reducer: TS Optics 0,79x

Camera: CCD Atik 460EX mono + Baader Ha R G B
Guiding: Lunático EZG-60 + SXLodestar
