ABOUT MYSELF (Pedro Ré)

I am a Marine Biologist and a Professor at the University of Lisbon/Portugal (Faculty of Sciences) where I teach Animal Biology, Marine Biology and Biological Oceanography. I have a PhD in Animal Ecology (1984) and my current research interests deal mainly with the study of Plankton and Benthos Ecology.

I have been an amateur astronomer for more than 40 years, mainly interested in imaging the heavens (deep-sky but also the solar system). Over the years I have acumulated a few telescopes telescopes that are house in two different observatories (roll-off-roof and dome) located in central Portugal.

I began imaging the heavens using conventional emulsion-based photography but now have turned to CCD's. In 1994 I bought a Hi-sis 22 CCD camera. I now own several CCD cameras including a SBIG ST-7, SBIG ST-8E, a SBIG ST-10XE and BIG STL11000(some of my images were already published in several Astronomy Magazines: Sky and Telescope; CCD Astronomy; Astronomy; Astronomy Now; Astronomy Magazine; Ciel et Espace...). Observatory location

In 2005 I acquired a Paramount ME german equatorial mount that was installed on Pier Tech 1 telescope Pier.
