Last night I tried the Leo triplet. Because I did not use guiding, the maximum exposure time was 45 seconds per picture. Probably too little for the faint galaxies. The recording data and astrometry evaluation.

NGC 2244 – Rosetta nebula
Last night, I tried my hand at the Rosette Nebula. Instead of the usual Nikon D5200 I had put on the Nikon D800 this time. The nebula has a large extension and with the crop camera the angle of view might have been too small. Of the 75 lights originally made, only 44 were ultimately […]
Bremerhaven without colour
Two black/white pictures from Bremerhaven. The pictures were thought from the outset without color, so no subsequent “oh yes, that might work also” pictures. I have to do the Klimahaus again when the Christmas lights have been removed.
Madeira – Ponta do Pargo
Ponta do Pargo ist am süd-östlichen Zipfel von Madeira. Neben dem Farol Ponta do Pargo hatten wir auch einen Abstecher zum Wasserfall “Garganta Funda” eingeplant. Am Ponta do Pargo Leuchtturm war zunächst bedeckter Himmel. Der Wasserfall war jetzt nun nicht unbedingt ein Highlight, eher dürftig. Dies ist wohl dem trockenen Wetter geschuldet. Dennoch, etwas weiter […]

Tuscany 2017 – Day 8
Early morning I wanted to go for a shooting at Agriturismo Palazzo Conti and the area around there. That part is rarely seen on any pictures on the net but is really a nice location to shoot. The evening was planned to go for another shooting at Agriturismo Baccoleno. This time from the hill near the […]

Tuscany 2017 – Day 6
On Saturday we did a daytrip to Siena which we missed in 2016. On the way to Siena we saw several marshals at street-crossings wondering what that could be for. In Buonconvento there were also a lot of audience at the street through the village. There we go, a sign told us: Mille Miglia 2017. […]
