Hiddo's career at ASTRON and NOVA started as mechanical designer for the MIDI instrument for the VLT-I, the first optical interferometer in astronomy that really did work.
After this very succesful instrument, Hiddo worked for an impressive number of other instruments (15 projects in his 17 year career at ASTRON), with a wavelength coverage from 370 nanometer to 10 meter.
Hiddo, thanks for the great work for NOVA and ASTRON, and for being a nice colleague. And also for your very successful "in-house green climate project".
