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. […]
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 […]
IC342
An image from yesterday evening. The image of the IC342 galaxy was taken with the DWARF II with an exposure time of 1 hour. IC 342 is a barred spiral galaxy with an active Hubble-type SAB(rs)cd galactic nucleus in the constellation of Giraffe in the northern starry sky. It is around 11 million light […]
M45 – Pleiades
Over 3 nights since November 7th I took 836 exposures of 15s each with the Dwarf II of the Pleiades. Here are the results. Not quite as great, but at least they are recognizable. I’m still hoping for the higher resolution of the Dwarf II, which should be available in the next few weeks. […]
M42 – Orion Nebula
Fell out of bed early this morning. An opportunity to photograph the Orion Nebula with the small Dwarf II. So far the results were sobering. This time it worked quite well. The image was stacked internally and then processed with Pixinsight, Photoshop and the Topaz tools. With the processing of the FITS files it […]
