Yesterday evening at 22:14 the maximum of the partial lunar eclipse was to be observed. My picture from 22:18, when finally the clouds had some gaps, was taken freehand with the X-T5 and the 50-140mm. The weather was simply too bad for a timelapse series, so I didn’t even try.

M74 Galaxy
It was just an attempt… The focal length for the Messier 74 object is too small. In addition, the resolution of the Dwarf camera is quite poor. But, at least, the galaxy is visible. Shooting Data
M101 – Pinwheel Galaxy
Clear skies for a short time yesterday evening. With the Dwarf II, this is no problem, since long setup times are eliminated. At first I had thought that I could try my hand at M74, but there was still the house in the way at this time of year. So I set my sights on […]
M27 – Dumbbell Nebula
In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday it was wonderfully clear. For about 20 minutes a cloud field passed through, so that I could use only 30 of the originally taken 40 pictures. Nevertheless, I am actually quite satisfied. The focal length could be larger, ok. Shooting Data
Karl Olfers Square
A shot from this morning at Karl Olfers Square. Haus Handwerk from 1928-1930 is one of the many architectural monuments in the city of Cuxhaven. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work out the way I thought it would. I must repeat that probably once again with the Nodal adapter. Also, I was quite late, so […]

Aurora over the North Sea
Last night was again alarm and it was worth it. Quickly to the dike and yes, you could guess the arc. On the first photos then the certainty. Very beautiful. Towards the end of the activity, I made a panorama of the Grimmershörn Bay and the Elbe. Here you can see the expansion of […]
Sunrise at the Kugelbake
Well, if you are up early and the weather forecast is not so bad, then you can go to the Kugelbake to take a few pictures. Another view to the Grimmershörn Bay… …and then the sun really went up in the narrow band between horizon and cloud cover… …a short timelapse was […]
M42 – Orion Nebula
Fell out of bed early this morning. An opportunity to photograph the Orion Nebula with the small Dwarf II. So far the results were sobering. This time it worked quite well. The image was stacked internally and then processed with Pixinsight, Photoshop and the Topaz tools. With the processing of the FITS files it […]
