Thomas Petit has been an amateur astronomer for more than fifteen years. In
2014, with two friends, he set up an observatory dedicated to
astrophotography in Chile, in the Atacama desert (APO_Team).
The images made with this observatory have allowed him to be
co-discoverer of more than 70 candidate planetary nebulae. In
2018, with Pascal Le Dû, he develops the website
PlanetaryNebulae.net in order to list all the NP candidates
candidates. He lives in Prague and is a member of the Czech Astronomical
Society.
