Among vultures… At least that was the plan for one day. Unfortunately no one had told the vultures. The weather was however also very bad and so they let themselves be seen after over seven hours waiting time for approx. 2 minutes. In the meantime a robin and a small group of Egyptian mongoose passed […]

Extremadura – Day 1
From 7th to 13th November we did a trip to Spain’s Extremadura. Mainly it was about bird photography. Partly from hides, but also on excursions. In retrospect one can say that the season is not suitable for it. Rather the spring or the early autumn should be considered here. Nevertheless, some species were to be […]

The weather on last Thursday was quite pleasing. Most of the windmills there are so called “Galerieholländer” or “Wallholländer”. Most of the time the 24mm […]
NGC 7023 – Iris nebula
After the Bode galaxies shots I programmed the software and took 175 pictures of the Iris Nebula. This ran until about 4:30 am. The recording data and astrometry evaluation.
