Comet enthusiast and hunter of lost comets in ancient books

As a teenager, he was fascinated by a bright comet, and since then he has not missed a single opportunity to observe these space wanderers. 10 years later, he missed a visual discovery. Eventually, he succeeded and gradually found 40 tiny comets observed by a spacecraft. Unfortunately these discoveries not bear his name. He stopped to search at archival data from observatories and started to identify historical comets in ancient books. Co-author of unique comet catalogs, Maik Meyer.

Welcome to my Astro Web!

I have been interested in astronomy since my childhood. At the beginning I was most interested in comets. Later I focused on minor planets. Both are still very interesting to me.

Although I have a 10 inch Newtonian telescope and sometimes I watch the sky from my backyard, all my discoveries so far were made partly via internet just sitting behind my PC and partly as a visitor hunter at Konkoly Observatory with professional set up.

I write about my work in hope, that it could inspire someone ...
