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. […]
Perseiden und mehr…
Na das war ja eine Überraschung am Nachmittag des 12. August. Ein fettes Polarlichtoval mit Aussichten, daß es sich bis in den Abend hält war angekündigt. Den Plan, die Perseiden in Dorum zu fotografieren habe ich aufgegeben, stattdessen bin ich zur Kugelbake – besser gesagt zum nördlichsten Punkt Niedersachens – gefahren und habe dort mein […]
15 minutes Obereversand
A 15 minute long exposure from this afternoon… And once with Wind-Surfer (unfortunately my PS knowledge is not so well developed, but still).
50. Sommerabend am Meer
Glück gehabt… Zum Abend hin wurde das Wetter besser und der Regen vom Nachmittag war vorbei. Da war natürlich auch ordentlich was los auf dem Deich und der Promenade. OK, die angekündigte Lasershow war dann doch eher etwas hausbacken… Mein erstes Feuerwerk, daß ich fotografiert habe. Ging besser als gedacht. Zumindest […]
Sahlenburg
Grimmershörn
Futile attempt to see NLCs again this season, well then, the probability is decreasing for 2024, but don’t give up yet 🙂 The same motif as a b/w realisation, but with the Nikon D5300 full spectrum camera. Finally, once again the Cuxhaven landmark…
88th Duhner Wadden Race
Yesterday we visited the Duhner Wattrennen. It went really well by bike. You could actually see it quite well from the outside. With the 300mm telephoto on the Fuji crop it was also reasonably easy to photograph. In any case, the organizers were lucky with the weather. Even the Mittelplate oil rig about […]
Not too bad…
Initially, a dense cloud cover was forecast for Cuxhaven, but, as is so often the case recently, it was still quite cloud-free until midnight. The NLC radar had been very busy in the morning, so I decided to try my luck. Not as bright as the last two sessions (I’m guessing magnitude 2), but […]
