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 […]

C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
Endlich wurde halbwegs klarer Himmel vorhergesagt… Allerdings zog ein dichtes Wolkenband am Horizont durch. Deshalb wurde aus der eigentlich geplanten Aufgabe nichts. Aber, immerhin, nach Neowise mal wieder ein gut sichtbarer Komet am Abendhimmel. Ob es für eine weitere Session reicht glaube ich – mit Blick auf die Wolkenvorhersage – eher nicht. Gegen […]
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.
C/2022 E3 (ZTF)
In the night of 7 February to 8 February 2023, I had another opportunity to photograph the comet. This time I used my astro equipment. Tracking was great and the ZWO ASI183 MC also provided the better image quality. With the shots, the processing in Pixinsight also succeeded perfectly, which I didn’t manage at […]
C/2022 E3 (ZTF)
So far it was only once clear enough for me to photograph the comet. And, how should it be different, screwed up in many ways…. The image(s) were taken on January 28, 2023 around midnight with the Fuji X-T5 on the Fujinon XF50-140mm at f/2.8 and ISO 1600. Not focused accurately, tracking not set well […]
Search image
The brightness and therefore visibility especially of the tail of C/2020 Neowise will surely not reach the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). Yesterday evening at the ferry port it was in the picture, but it is still so dark that you can find it only by extensive search in the picture.
C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS)
The night I wanted to take pictures of the M81/M82, I had to wait a little bit before it was dark enough. Since the C/2019 comet had burst two days before, I targeted the C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) comet and took 20 pictures as a test. What a pity, I wish I had taken more 🙂 […]
