°28-2-1964, Ghent (East Flanders-Belgium).
Inventor of the topic Pseudo-Supernovae (very weak nearby foreground stars in our own milky way system, appearing like bright supernovae in very distant galaxies, when foreground stars and distant galaxies are aligned (so-called "compagnon stars"). We need a catalogue of these "compagnon stars", to avoid misunderstandings during possible observations of supernovae in distant galaxies.
Collector of names and nicknames of astronomical objects beyond the solar system (a HUUUUUGE collection!) (probably the world's largest).

Explorer of both the New General Catalogue (NGC) and Index Catalogue (IC) of nebulous deepsky objects, and much more astronomical catalogs.
Moon connoisseur (especially clair-obscur effects at the sunrise and sunset terminator).
Till 2017: collector of unofficial nomenclature of lunar surface formations (non-I.A.U. names and nicknames), from 2018 onward: collector of astronomical nomenclature (of everything beyond Proxima Centauri).
Explorer of optical phenomenae in and outside Earth's atmosphere, and also of entoptical phenomenae related to Evangelista Purkyne's discoveries.
Admirer of the Sourcebook Project (William R. Corliss), about everything in the world and the universe which is not 100 % investigated and/or explained.
