A brief introduction
Welcome in my website, first of all ! My name is Fabrizio Marchi and with Betty, I live near Treviso, a small city in Northeast Italy . I love astronomy from when was a child and actually I collaborate with an international manufacturer of telescopes and published dozens of articles on the major astronomical Italian journals. I always dedicate myself to the observation of variable and double stars, this website is a small collection of many years of passionate study.
I invite you all to contact me to exchange experience , observational stimuli and share programs
Member of Treviso Astronomical Association from the fondation, under the guidance of Giuliano Romano I learned the fundamentals of photometry, be it visual, PEP or CCD . my obersvational program over the years are been devoted to many classes of objects, from U geminorum type stars, to RR Lyr in globular cluster and BL Lac objects
In recent years I love to follow Suspected Mira or semiregular Star , definitely a work of patience in a long time, but relatively undemanding in the short term, being enought a few observing sessions per month . I also noted the transit of certain exoplanets, but 'not a type of study that meets my very interesting. One year ago with some friends I established the FTT (Fotometrica Treviso Team), a small amateur astronomers group in my town committed itself to a program of joint study with different instrument. For some of them, this program is useful as a thesis study of high school
.
For several years, the French observatory of the Pic du Midi in the Pyrenees at 2900 m above sea level, it gives me the opportunity to meet with French professional and amateur astronomers to share visual observations under a sky extraordinary dark and further issues such spectroscopy and photometry
French Astronomer Christian Buil (Irisman), some friends (from left, Gino Bucciol, Danilo Zardin) and me : the telescope is an Ultra Ritchie Chretien optics, 320 mm diameter and F 5,5 focal ratio, made by OFFICINA STELLARE (Italy) for perfect and ultra corrected images on large field
Only less than a year I'm perfecting the techniques of measurement using the CCD
Is my website! So allow me to thank Betty for the patience shown me all these nights left alone, while I was at the telescope, watching the stars, my constant companions ......and of course my parents for having supported with all their strength, my love for astronomy since I was a child .
