A shot with the Dwarf II from yesterday evening. However, more focal length is necessary for the galaxy… Recording data

Two times DWARF II
Yesterday evening it was clear again. I was able to set up the small DWARF II once again and photograph two objects. Since the small telescope has some problems with darker objects, I pointed it at two old acquaintances this time. The M33 galaxy is one of the brighter and above all larger appearing […]
IC342
An image from yesterday evening. The image of the IC342 galaxy was taken with the DWARF II with an exposure time of 1 hour. IC 342 is a barred spiral galaxy with an active Hubble-type SAB(rs)cd galactic nucleus in the constellation of Giraffe in the northern starry sky. It is around 11 million light […]
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 […]
DWARF II
First Light with the DWARF II. This all-in-one device is not as problem-free as it is often portrayed. Now and then the software goes on strike, but when it works, the little device positions itself quite accurately and then tracks the object in the sky quite precisely. However, I had only taken a few test […]
M51 – Whirlpool Galaxy
Last night it was finally clear again. However, the moon was also meanwhile back to 89% and on top of that quite windy. The focal length of my telescope is quite short for such objects. Shown above is a crop which was upsampled afterwards. The (almost) uncropped image looks like this. Recording data […]
Leo-Triplett
Today I integrated the existing images of the Leo Triplet from 2020 and reprocessed them. The result can be seen quite well. A total of 161 exposures with the Nikon D5200 with Kenko 1.5 converter and the Skywatcher 130/650 PDS at ISO 800 and 75 exposures without the Kenko at ISO 1600 (plus corresponding […]
M31 – Andromeda
Last night it was finally clear again. Opportunity to capture the Andromeda galaxy. Other deep sky objects would have fallen victim to the (almost) full moon. Originally it was supposed to be a mosaic, but that didn’t work out. Therefore as a single image, and thus also M110 squeezed hard to the edge. The […]
M33 – Triangulum Galaxy
Last night were best conditions for a longer session with the telescope. I had set my sights on the previously photographed galaxy M33. In contrast to the two previous shots (the last one was only a test anyway) of the galaxy, I had left the camera position as it was. So the image is […]
