Bengt Lindqvist

Bengt lives with his family on the island of Fehmarn. He enjoys observing planets and the Moon, and loves to immerse himself in astrophotography.

As an industrial mechanic with a love of woodworking, Bengt builds his own top-quality telescopes – and then enjoys the moment when Jupiter reveals detailed structures in its cloud bands at maximum magnification.

Bengt is not only a woodworking artist, but also a maker: he uses his 3D printer to construct astronomical parts. In his remaining free time, he keeps an aquarium and trains bonsais.
