My name is Erik Bryssinck and I am a Belgian amateur astronomer who focuses mainly on observing comets, not directly for the beautiful picture but for data with more scientific meaning.

Our flagship El Sauce Observatory located in the Rio Hurtardo Valley, Chile, provides the best skies to make use of our telescopes located there.

Not that long ago, viewing the wonders of the cosmos required years of study and incredibly complex, and subsequently expensive, equipment.

Distributed networks of robotic telescopes have the power to make a significant contribution to the scientific community, in a variety of fields.
