Rosette nebula
Yesterday evening I could get my first usable result with the iOptron SkyGuider Pro mount. It is already damn hard to find the right section of the sky with LiveView without GOTO functionality. The one shown was the third attempt. This definitely requires more knowledge about the objects in the sky and also in interaction […]
Colour of the moon
The moon is not as colorless as one might think. Here is a version of the last image taken of the (nearly) full moon with extended color saturation in the individual channels. This inspires to take more pictures of the earth’s satellite and especially to “stack” them to get more details in the pictures.
Nearly full moon
Moon halo above Cuxhaven
Yesterday evening, a not so often seen phenomenon could be seen, a so-called moon halo. First I had made a few pictures with the smartphone camera, but that seemed to me not purposeful. Then I quickly set up my tripod and the X-T3 with the Fujinon 10-20.
M31 – Andromeda Galaxy
In the night of August 12th to 13th I took some shots of the Andromeda galaxy again. Due to wrong polar alignment the telescope drifted far out of my view later, so that from the originally planned 350 images only 122 usable ones remained. The sharpness also still leaves to be desired. The recording data.
Nordholz wind farm
On August 10th I was at the Nordholz wind farm to photograph the Milky Way. The wind was a little bit too strong, so that the rotor blades are unfortunately not to be seen on the photos. Here both pictures were taken with the Fuji X-T20 and the Fujinon 10-24/f4. The first picture is composed […]
From Dusk till Dawn
A clear night is predicted, so I wanted take another set of pictures of comet C/2020 F3 Neowise. This time I was on the way from 2130h to 0330h and set up my cameras at three different locations. It started at the Little Prussian lighthouse in Wremen. Here were some photographers on site. First the […]
C/2020 F3 Neowise
Last night I took another set of pictures of the comet. This time from Nordholz with a few windmills in the foreground. Here’s a close-up shot using the Nikkor 300mm, stackt from 20 images. With the Fuji I also created a short timelapse.
Finally…
… clear skies. Since at least one week I wait to be able to photograph the comet C/2020 Neowise. Last night it finally worked out. However, there were no NLCs last night, but maybe this possibility will open up again next week. Here is a stack of 16 images at 200mm with the Nikon D850 […]
