The predicted major substorm did not occur, but nevertheless, a small aurora borealis was visible above the Tideelbe and could be photographed. Unfortunately, yesterday’s big event here in the north was canceled due to heavy cloud cover. When taking the X-T3 shot for the timelapse, I messed up the focus a bit on […]
C/2025 A6 Lemmon
Still usable as a search image, but the comet doesn’t really want to appear there. After days of complete coverage of the sky, this is the last attempt to photograph the comet once again. It is marked on the following image…
Storm Joshua
Storm Joshua has been active in Cuxhaven over the last three days. Late this afternoon, we took a quick trip to Grimmershörnbucht and enjoyed a “fresh shower.” But, in general, it was like in previous years.
C/2025 A6 Lemmon
Clear skies for a few hours yesterday evening. Opportunity to capture comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon with the DWARF II. Recording details
NGC 1499 – California Nebula (2)
Last night, I photographed the upper part of the California Nebula. Unfortunately, I had set the rotator incorrectly. As a result, the planned mosaic could not be as large as I would have liked. Nevertheless, approximately 25% from the last session was included in the lower part. Recording data

London – Day 4
Since good weather was forecast again, we went to Battersea for a second time. It was really worth it. When you walk around there, you inevitably bump into one of the security guards at some point. When I had set up my tripod, one of them approached me straight away and said that professional […]
London – Day 3
In terms of light and weather, the best day of our stay. However, it was very windy. In the morning, I went to my former employer Unilever in Blackfriars. From St. Paul’s, we continued on to the government district. After a good meal at the Sherlock Holmes Pub, we walked back to […]
London – Day 2
At first it was still sunny, but that was to change in the course of the morning. We arrived in Battersea under cloudy skies. This is where the old power station featured on Pink Floyd’s Animals album is located. The area has since been transformed into an upmarket residential neighbourhood, and the power station […]
London – Day 1
After travelling by train, plane and underground, we arrived at the hotel at around 5 p.m. It wasn’t the best place, but it was adequate and quite cheap by London standards. The hotel also has another special feature. On the ground floor is the Oodles snack bar. In 1888, this was the site of […]
