Now it finally worked out. Clear sky in the morning. The sun is very low but at least some change from the normal day. Quite a large number of sunspots are nicely visible. Taken with the D500 on the Maksutov 1300. The sharpness is not as hoped for, but perhaps one can still work on […]
First Light Maksutov 102/1300
Yesterday evening it was briefly possible to try out the Skywatcher Maksutov 102/1300. I had to do without the temperature compensation due to the weather situation and quickly take a few pictures before the clouds moved in front of the moon again. The image is cropped to 1:1 in width only. The sharpness is not […]
Imsum and Weddewarden
The ox tower in Imsum and actually also the old rear lighthouse we wanted to photograph yesterday. Ox tower in Imsum The old rear lighthouse we haven’t done, because it looks not so particularly attractive. Instead, a little of the container terminal in Weddewarden. Container-Terminal
Pastor Drägert Weg
A short hike with the bike in the morning. The kingfisher seems to be back again. Twice I have seen him flying close over the Döser Wettern.

Both have in common that here astrophotography is made easy by offering an all-in-one device, which is simply set up and after switching on automatically performs the setup. With the smartphone controlled objects in the sky can then be approached and the built-in […]
M45 – Pleiades
Yesterday in the evening we had surprisingly clear sky. With the iOptron mount, the Nikon D500 and the 300PF I tried again to shoot the Pleiades. Unfortunately, I’m still at war with post-processing. The recording data
Cuxhaven 36
For 36 hours a photo friend was in Cuxhaven. A program was quickly put together. Landscape, birds and what else that is somewhat nice and can be done in 1.5 days. On Thursday afternoon for bird photography to Cappel-Neufeld. That was already a mess. Neither at the jetty nor at the NABU tower any activities […]
Ellernwurth manor
After it looked promising at the Kystlys event, we went to Wremen again on Sunday to finish the Oste Tour.
Along the Oste river
From Otterndorf we went along the Oste to Hechthausen. First and foremost, the trip was intended to discover new, not yet visited, photo spots (which I also found). A small selection…
Otterndorf
Destination number 1 of our trip to the east of Cuxland yesterday was Otterndorf. A short tour and a few pictures are also made. However, it was still very aggressive light at the time. We also wanted to take a look at the former castle and today’s district court.
