Yesterday’s destination was the Leuphana University in Lüneburg. I hadn’t thought about it at all during my last visit to Lüneburg… Here, too, the black and white realization will follow at some point…
Hundertwasser train station Uelzen
On the way to Lüneburg yesterday, we drove via Uelzen and visited the station there, which was designed according to designs and motifs by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Of course it’s getting on in years, but it’s still nice to look at… I’ll do the black and white conversion at some point…

NGC 7023 and M31
Two objects with the Dwarf from yesterday evening. With the Iris Nebula, it is noticeable that the quality of the images does not improve significantly when exposing with more than 250/300 exposures. Here I also tested the EQ mode of the small Dwarf for the first time. It is a bit tedious to adjust, […]
M15 and M34 Cluster
Finally a clear sky again. And this time it was particularly clear. Seeing was perfect. I have rarely seen such a clear sky here. The best conditions. M15 was the second image taken yesterday evening. Unfortunately, a street lamp was almost in the way. However, I was able to remove the gradients quite well. […]
C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) for the second time
Yesterday evening was another clear sky, lucky us. First a stack of 100 single shots at 140mm (crop 1.5) with f/2.8, 1s and ISO 6400. Unfortunately there was a bit of a strong wind, so the windmills turned a bit too fast for my taste (despite the 1s exposure time). However, the comet […]
C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
At last the forecast was for reasonably clear skies… However, there was a thick band of cloud on the horizon. That’s why the planned task was cancelled. But, after Neowise, a comet was once again clearly visible in the evening sky. Looking at the cloud forecast, I don’t think it will be enough for […]
G4+ Storm and clouds
Well, that fits again… Finally another G4+ solar storm and what does the weather say? Cloud cover all night. However, a few gaps should open up between 8pm and 9pm. Over the salt marshes in Spieka-Neufeld, in the direction of Neuwerk, the red sky and the green glow of the bow could already be […]
Northern lights over Grimmershörn
At a humane time, an aurora warning popped up on my phone… Clouds were still a good while away. That’s what you call luck. Less luck, however, with the terrible LED lighting of the Kugelbake and the – at least here on the Tidal Elbe – unwanted suction dredger. A short sequence was […]
