Lukasz Socha is an astronomy amateur, who lives in a small city in the southern part of Poland. He has been interested in astronomy ever since he could remember. Lukasz makes most of the observations and astroimages in his backyard roll-off shed, but also when traveling around. Besides astrophotography, he is also interested in variable and double stars observations, spectroscopy and astronomy-related electronics.
The outcome of these efforts can be found at his website: http://astrojolo.com.
