[Olivier GARDE]

I Discovered spectro in 2002 during a mission to St Veran observatory : we used a spectro prototype on a optic table and made some Be star spectra.

After this first experience in spectroscopy, I was at the meeting pro/am of Oleron in 2003 organized by the CNRS. (French Science national research) and I discover the large domain of spectro investigation.

I then purchased a SBIG SGS spectrograph, and in 2005, the first set of spectro LHIRES appeared in kit with the collaboration of Aude association, (I have the #005).

Finally in 2011, I bought a spectro LISA from Shelyak Instrument, with 2 CCD cameras ATIK (Titan and 314L+)

I have my own observatory in south east of France, a C14 with Losmandy Titan equatorial mount under a dome of 2m40 all remote control, but I also travel in some places like St. Veran observatory in the French Alps at 3000m and OHP (Observatoire de Haute Provence).
