About me:
My name is Maurice Toet and I live in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands. Astronomy has been part of my life since the appearance of comet Hale-Bopp in 1997. I was 16 years old then and acquired a 4.5 inch Newtonian reflector. During that period I came in contact with other enthusiasts at the public astronomical observatory of Rijswijk from whom I have learned a lot. Nowadays I use several instruments as part of my hobby. My main interest lies in photography of the deep-sky.
