Finally a clear sky again. And this time it was particularly clear. Seeing was perfect. I have rarely seen such a clear sky here. The best conditions. M15 was the second image taken yesterday evening. Unfortunately, a street lamp was almost in the way. However, I was able to remove the gradients quite well. […]

C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) zum Zweiten
Am gestrigen Abend war noch einmal freier Himmel, Glück gehabt. Zunächst ein “Stack” aus 100 Einzelaufnahmen bei 140mm (Crop 1.5) mit f/2.8, 1s und ISO 6400. Leider gab es doch etwas kräftigen Wind, so drehten sich die Windräder für meinen Geschmack etwas zu schnell (trotz 1s Belichtungszeit). Allerdings ist der Komet schon deutlich […]
Pelican Nebula – IC5070
An image taken last night with the Skywatcher 72/420. The Pelican Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, which is about 2000 light years away. Exposure time was 6 hours with the ZWO ASI183MC. Recording Parameter
Western Veil Nebula
One night later… the Western Veil Nebula made it into my portfolio. So far I’m actually quite happy with the shot, as I only had about 4.5 hours of exposure time available at this time of year. Recording Data
Polaris Integrated Flux Nebula
Image from last night. Here it was a session with the iOptron SkyGuider Pro and the Nikon D800 with Samyang 135mm. The Polaris IFN can also be photographed very well without a mount, directly from a tripod. In this case, however, the exposure time of a single image should be a maximum of 20s. […]
NGC 4565 – Needle Galaxy
A shot with the Dwarf II from yesterday evening. However, more focal length is necessary for the galaxy… Recording data
12P/Pons-Brooks
An image (from 50 individual images) of the comet that could possibly be visible to the naked eye from April. Predicting comets is always a bit difficult, but the development of the magnitude until May could make it possible. However, it will probably not be as bright as C/2020 F3 Neowise in 2020.
Another DWARF II
A somewhat older image with the DWARF II. Here I photographed the area around the Flame and Horsehead Nebula. The image is from January 9, 2024. The image was taken directly from the DWARF II, as I was unable to stack the individual shots afterwards despite several attempts. The differences to the Skywatcher telescope […]
Two times DWARF II – Part 2
The second object was the Orion Nebula. Photographed many times, but always beautiful to look at… Aufnahmedaten
Two times DWARF II
Yesterday evening it was clear again. I was able to set up the small DWARF II once again and photograph two objects. Since the small telescope has some problems with darker objects, I pointed it at two old acquaintances this time. The M33 galaxy is one of the brighter and above all larger appearing […]
