Hi there !
I'm a French man living in Japan (north of Saitama prefecture) since ten years. Married to a working Japanese lady and father of a 7-years-old kid, "daddy at home" is my main job. When I do not cook nor manage our home, our garden or my son's schedule (daily moves, homework...), I practice amateur astronomy, observing the sky at night, sometimes taking pictures. I often go in the mountain area (Saitama, Gumma or Nagano prefectures) to have a better view and avoid light pollution the best I can.
Dunno if it's the good place to ask, but I'm in search of English-speaking (or French-speaking, who knows ?) amateur astronomers. I'm a member of a Japanese association of stargazers located in Toda, but unfortunately for me, my Japanese is so poor that I can't discuss properly with anyone : it's a pity - and quite a frustration - not to be able to share your passion with appropriate people.
Are there some amateur astronomers in this community ? I would be glad to meet them online and who knows, maybe later, under a starry sky !
