Now it finally worked out. Clear sky in the morning. The sun is very low but at least some change from the normal day. Quite a large number of sunspots are nicely visible. Taken with the D500 on the Maksutov 1300. The sharpness is not as hoped for, but perhaps one can still work on […]

First Light Maksutov 102/1300
Yesterday evening it was briefly possible to try out the Skywatcher Maksutov 102/1300. I had to do without the temperature compensation due to the weather situation and quickly take a few pictures before the clouds moved in front of the moon again. The image is cropped to 1:1 in width only. The sharpness is not […]
Imsum and Weddewarden
The ox tower in Imsum and actually also the old rear lighthouse we wanted to photograph yesterday. Ox tower in Imsum The old rear lighthouse we haven’t done, because it looks not so particularly attractive. Instead, a little of the container terminal in Weddewarden. Container-Terminal
M45 – Pleiades
Yesterday in the evening we had surprisingly clear sky. With the iOptron mount, the Nikon D500 and the 300PF I tried again to shoot the Pleiades. Unfortunately, I’m still at war with post-processing. The recording data
Lucky Punch
Sometimes you just have to be lucky… I originally wanted to photograph a moon halo last night when the plane crossed the path. Just a lucky shot.
Two times 97% moon
On September 22 I had photographed twice the 97% moon shortly after rising. The Fuji X-T3 with the Sigma 150-600 and 1.4 teleconverter was used for the picture above. A stack of several images did nothing this time. The single image is sharper and more detailed in my opinion. The second picture I took with […]
NGC 7000/IC 5070 – North America Nebula/Pelican Nebula
Last night I tried again on the North America/Pelican Nebula. The nebula is already quite large, so here with the Samyang 135mm on the Nikon D500. Funnily enough, without having planned it, I had photographed exactly the same nebula exactly 5 years ago. Progress is visible… The recording data. The bright star on the right […]
Barely visible
Three pictures from last week. I had set up my tripod with the Nikon D500 and the Sigma 150-600 and TC 1.4 and tried to photograph Jupiter and Saturn. OK, the result is not a masterpiece, but you can see something in the crop 🙂 On the right side two moons are just indicated. On […]
M31 – Andromeda Galaxy
In the night from August 3rd to 4th I photographed the Andromeda Galaxy. The mount used this time was the iOptron iPolar on the Berlebach tripod with the Nikon D500 and the 300mm PF lens. The recording data.
Hamburg 44
44 hours in Hamburg. From July 6 to July 8, four of us were on the road in Hamburg. On the first day around late afternoon we went first to the Dockland. There the sun was still too high. So here is a black and white conversion of a panorama image. Taken with the […]
