NGC 1499 – California Nebula (2)
Last night, I photographed the upper part of the California Nebula. Unfortunately, I had set the rotator incorrectly. As a result, the planned mosaic could not be as large as I would have liked. Nevertheless, approximately 25% from the last session was included in the lower part. Recording data
NGC 1499 – California Nebula
A photo taken last night. Beautiful clear skies and little wind with moderate temperatures… Recording Data
Total lunar eclipse
I almost didn’t set off as the sky was closing in. Fortunately, I did set off after all. As in 2018, the moon only became visible late, but towards the end of totality it was still clearly visible. Until around 8:30 pm, the brightness was not sufficient to penetrate the veil near the horizon.

Shabab Oman II
Getting in the mood for Sail 2025 in Bremerhaven. The Shabab Oman II moored in Cuxhaven for a few hours.
At Döse beach
It was supposed to be NLCs, but unfortunately there was only a slight suspicion. We tried twice at Döser Strand, but the clouds prevented a clear view both times. The first picture was taken on July 3, 2025 at around 11:40 pm. We tried for a while, but the clouds moved in rather than […]
Second NLC this season
Unfortunately I had to miss the last NLC due to heavy clouds. But it worked out last night. At midnight it finally got dark enough for the NLCs to be clearly visible. The display was not as bright, so I was not able to image such high-contrast structures as last year. Here […]
