I came across this object by chance the other day and on the night of 22 April to 23 April I tried it once. The result is not quite as I would like it to be, but the raw data does not seem to give more than that. The recording data and astrometry evaluation.

M81/M82 – Bode Nebula
YES! I finally got that guiding thing down. As I had planned it yesterday, I took another look at M81/M82. With the Kenko 1.5 teleconverter I wanted to get the two galaxies bigger in the picture. However, the strong wind has put a small trickle in my calculations. Of the 200 shots, there were […]
Leo-Triplett the third
In the night from Saturday to Sunday I pointed the telescope once more at the Leo triplet and took another 100 pictures with ISO 800 á 45 seconds. From the usable 90 images together with the usable images from April 17th I got a total exposure time of 6345 seconds. First of all I am […]
Leo Triplett 2nd version
Last night I once again targeted the Leo triplet. This time with the help of a Kenko 1.5 teleconverter and with ISO 800 instead of ISO 1600. Although there are fewer shots and less light (due to the lower ISO), I like this version much better. It is planned to increase the number of shots […]
NGC 3628 – Leo Triplet
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 Of the 75 lights originally made, only 44 were ultimately […]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 2018
I have published my pictures from recent Tuscany tour over to SmugMug. Here are my favorites out of the 60 pictures. There is also a timelapse video that does show diverse views from the nearly 2 weeks.
Tuscany 2017 – Day 10
Last day in Tuscany. I did an early morning trip around the valley and shot at some spots we haven’t been in the early hours. During the day we went to San Galgano, an old monastery ruin. It was closed bacause of a marriage in the building. In the evening we went for a […]
