It’s hardly bearable… Another clear night – and that in November! Very unusual here in Cuxhaven. Great. This time I aimed at the Pleiades. Unfortunately my processing created big “blotches” around the big stars, but that’s the way it is now. Maybe I can come up with something again. Recording data

Moon and Jupiter
Two pictures from last night… The moon at 47% with the Skywatcher Maksutov at 1300mm and the Nikon 1 J4. The image was composed of 3 exposures. Due to the crop factor of the J4 only half of the crescent moon was on the image. The image of Jupiter is very small despite 2600mm […]
