At the end of this year’s Perseids sessions two more images from August 13th. The first one, this time in format 4:5 (portrait mode), was taken with the Fuji X-T3. It shows a Perseid between the Pleiades and the planet Mars. And here is also a picture with the startrails to the X-T3 session. […]

Perseids IV
In the night from August 12 to 13, that is at the peak of the Perseids, we were lucky to have clear skies. With temperatures of at least 17°C conditions prevailed that made it possible to spend the night outside. Unfortunately we had also full moon exactly in this night, which strongly impaired the brightness […]
Perseids III
Last night I went out again to make another attempt with images of the Perseids. This time it was much more successful concerning the quantity. However, there was no Perseids as bright as last night. The shots were then merged into a single image using PS. This time I used the Fuji GFx with the […]
Perseids II
Letzte Nacht habe ich mich noch einmal an den Perseiden versucht. Zunächst bin ich vor Mitternacht nach Altenbruch gefahren. Wiederum gelangte nur eine Perseide auf den Sensor. Sehr hell, hatte ich diese bereits während des Fotografierens gesehen. Danach bin ich – da es zusätzlich noch eine Polarlichtvorhersage gab – noch zur Alten Liebe gefahren. […]
Perseids
In the night from Saturday to Sunday I had set up my Nikon D500 with the Samyang 135mm and photographed the radiant of the Perseids between 11 pm and about 4 am. Unfortunately, I was only able to capture one Perseid on the sensor in the entire 5 hours. OK, the peak is around August […]
Summer sun
With the sun high in the sky last Thursday I made a panorama of four single images of the sun. The image was taken with the Skywatcher GTi mount and the Fuji X-T3 on the Maksutov 1300mm combined with the Kenko 1.5 teleconverter.
M42 – Orion Nebula
A picture from last night. Unfortunately the season is already quite advanced, so the view of Orion is not so long in the evening. Therefore here first only 3500 seconds exposure time. Maybe I will manage to add a few more exposures. Recording parameters
Orion Constellation
Yesterday evening I took a picture of the constellation Orion. The 100 frames were all taken with the Nikon D500 and the 90mm Voigtländer. Overall somewhat disappointing, the colors and especially Barnard’s Loop don’t come out at all. No idea if it is due to the processing, the Nikon used or the Clear Sky […]
NGC 2264 – Cone-Nebula & Christmas Tree Cluster
I am not very satisfied with my image of NGC 2264, there should be more in it. I don’t know what exactly is the reason. Well, in any case a beginning… Recording parameters
M81-/M82-Group
On March 8 I photographed the M81/M82 group again. This time with the ASI183MC and the Skywatcher Evostar 72/420. Unfortunately I screwed up the flats and had to help myself in post-processing (the ring is still easily visible). Recording parameters
