My telescopes and variable stars.

Hello, my name is Hubert and I live in Belgium. At this place you can take a look at my current telescopes and the telescopes I owned in the past.
You also can find here some lightcurves of variables stars. My hobby is astronomy and I love to look at the stars. I used to observe variable stars visually but lately I'm switched to CCD photometry. This is a better way to archive more accurate measurements of the small dips some stars undergo. Although it's better to observe long period variables with a great amplitude and bright stars visually. So I still observe some stars visually with my small telescope and the 20 cm is used to do CCD photometry.

And of course I won't neglect a comet or other transient phenomena in the sky.
