I wanted to take a few infrared pictures. Unfortunately, the sun has not quite played along, so everything has become a bit pale, but still quite nice. On the way to the lake, this nice courtyard driveway caught my eye. At the lake it was even more dreary than on the way there. No […]

At the Oste river
Short drive to Neuhaus (Oste) and Geversdorf. After the weather prospects during the day I had expected a little more…
3 days at the Schlei
For 3 days we went to the area north-east of Schleswig. First and foremost, we wanted to explore the area by bike. The photography was intended more as a sideline. A few decent pictures are it but then become. A few more pictures are posted on the SmugMug-Seite page..
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 […]
Not as planned…
…and not as hoped. I had planned for yesterday evening the moonset – albeit only 18% moon – at Obereversand with telephoto lens with PlanIt! Unfortunately this did not work out as thought. Originally the moon should stand on the right of the tower, on height of the dome. But the chosen location – according […]
NGC 281 – Pacman Nebula
Last night I photographed the emission nebula NGC 281 (Pacman Nebula) with the Skywatcher Evostar. Originally I planned to take 50 single images, but later clouds came up and so there were only 22 usable images. Aufnahmedaten
Kugelbake in the early morning
Well, it’s been a while since I went to the Kugelbake at an early hour. But today it was worth it. Since we had draining water, there were also not quite as many ships on the way. A timelapse was also created in the process.
Fraunhofer Institute
During the bike ride across the Luneplate to Geestemünde, the building of the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems caught my eye. That would certainly be a nice object for architectural photography, I thought to myself. Thought, done, today in the morning I went there again. On Sundays it is always nice and quiet in […]
Luneplate to Geestemünde
Today we went by bike from the Luneplate via the fishing port to the mouth of the river Geeste. Actually, the first work on the lighthouse should begin in the afternoon. However, nothing happened yet. At least the people of Bremerhaven made sure to get many visitors to their city. This worked well; the parking […]
Lighthouse Geestemole North
Today there was sad news. Fitting for the Maritime Week 2022 in Bremerhaven, the substructure of the pier of the Geestemole Nord beacon has sunk. Although known for years, it has actually interested no one. If and when the listed tower will be rebuilt, nobody knows at the moment. Of course, no one is […]
