In the night from December 25th to 26th I had the opportunity to photograph the Orion Nebula. I am not finally satisfied with the processing, but for now it is ok. Unlike the previous shots of this object, the Running Man comes out well here. Recording data

Wintersun
Once again a few solar images. The sunspots have changed a lot compared to the last pictures. Now the last thing I will do in the near future is to try out the ZWO 120MC camera. With its 1/3″ sensor, there should still be decent magnification in it.
You can’t get more…
This morning I once again set my sights on the sun. This time I tested the GFx and the Nikon D800 on the Maksutov 1300mm in addition to the X-T3. The D800 does not work at all. Due to the mirror impact, no reasonable image came out of it. The GFx is actually quite good, […]
Once again the sun
Two images from this morning. This time with the Fuji X-T3 on the Skywatcher Maksutov 1300mm. It is very difficult to set the focus correctly. On the Liveview almost nothing can be seen because of the ambient brightness and in the viewfinder I miss the magnification (I have not yet found how to set it). […]
The Sun
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 […]
Astrophotography automation
Some time ago two new telescopes for astrophotography appeared on the market. 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
Lucky Punch
Sometimes you just have to be lucky… I originally wanted to photograph a moon halo last night when the plane crossed the path. Just a lucky shot.
Two times 97% moon
On September 22 I had photographed twice the 97% moon shortly after rising. The Fuji X-T3 with the Sigma 150-600 and 1.4 teleconverter was used for the picture above. A stack of several images did nothing this time. The single image is sharper and more detailed in my opinion. The second picture I took with […]
