| John J. Maikner | New Ringgold, Pa | USA | | I am 64 years of age and have been an observer since the age of 18. My astronomical interest are comets, minor planet and deep sky objects. I am a retired chemist and just moved to a dark sky location. I have been able to image over 60 comets during the last year. I image with an Astro-Physics 155 mm F/7 refractor and FLI 16803 CCD camera.
