Hi, my name is Axel Canicio, I'm 36 years old, I'm a computer systems analyst . I live in Alès, a little town in southern France. After 20 years of constrained observing in a 60mm refractor, I've decided to radically change my tools. A Meade Starfinder 16 inch F4/5 Dobsonian has been at my service for over five years now for sky hunting. Since I wasn't really expecting to do astrophotography, I simply chose the most luminous solution. I have since brought some improvements to this faboulous light bucket. The following pages thouroughly describe these improvements, and I hope, will give others some good ideas of how to get more out of their baby.

• New !!!	ASTRO-SNAP An Astronomical Imaging software for Webcams
  	Your (big) Dobsonian's base is too large ? Fold it.
  	Capturing images with a Dobson telescope ?.You can do it with a camcorder.
  	The 01/21/2000 total lunar eclipse
  	Easy collimating ? Laser pointer and an aspirin tube.
  	A removable deep sky filter mount.
  	A giant equatorial platform (Or tracking platform)
  	Links to other interesting sites.
