My name is Remco Hekker. In early 2019 I got interested in Astrophotography. I purchased some equipment and messed around a little bit. But due to circumstances, I didn't start any real project until January 2020. So I really am a beginning Astrophotographer.
In the last year, I've learned a lot of valuable lessons, and I've been getting questions on how I manage my astrophotography sessions.
That's why I started this channel, 52º Night Sky.
