Picture which tells everything about my life. Title? MY STORY

I am Primoz (in fact Primož) Cigler from Senovo, Slovenia, Europe. I was born in Slovenj Gradec on 11th May 1990.
I started my astronomy career in the summer of 2004. The event that made such an impression on me was the first look of Andromeda galaxy from my backyard with binocular 10x50. I found it totally unexpectedly and I had never known before that such objects can be seen with amateur's equipment. Very soon I tried my first captures with cheap and unuseful equipment - Canon 3000N (analog SLR camera) without tracking. I joined some slovenian astronomy forums and learned a lot about astrophotography. I made a decision and started saving money for equipment. That was quite a problem during I was visiting primary school. After that I went to the secondary school (where still I am) and I got a scolarship and astrophotography equipment became more accesible to me. I bought telephoto lens Sigma 135-400mm and Canon 350D till summer 2006. During holidays I borrowed Vixen GP-DX mount with SkySensor and made some better astrophotos. In the end of summer I bought the same mount and on December I got a great chance for a telescope - Orion Optics Europa - and I bought it.
So after two and a half years I have almost perfect equipment for my needs. Now my father is helping me to build my own observatory. The location is in Mrcna Sela - about 10 km away from our house. The first light is planned in the summer of 2007.

Self-portrait

I am also very active person: daylight photographer, web-page designer, musician (playing accordion, guitar, piano, ...), sportsman (handball, cycling, tennis, skiing, riding, fishing...).
I travel a lot, I have been to France and Belgium (1995), USA (june and july 2004), Australia (2006) and several times to our country's neighbours (except Hungary). I am planing Canarian islands in November 2007 and Australia (again) in 2008.
I have two brothers - Filip and Jernej, one sister - Petra, and great and understandable parents - Natasa and Tomaz (in Slovene Nataša and Tomaž).

I also have girlfriend Kaja from Brežice. She understands me and my astronomy interests.. She likes my pictures :) We spend a lot of time together under the stars, when I'm to lazy from photographing.

That's all about me. Thanks for reading!
