Personal Acknowledgements

Special thanks to the members of the Agrupacio Astronomica de Sabadell for their continued encouragement, shared expertise, and the welcoming community that makes observing nights memorable.

Gratitude to the developers behind the open-source tools that power this observatory — from N.I.N.A. and PHD2 for acquisition and guiding, to PixInsight for processing, and Astro for building this very website.

Finally, to the broader amateur astronomy community: your shared data, tutorials, and willingness to help others learn continue to push the boundaries of what backyard observatories can achieve.
