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 […]
That was probably nothing…
Unfortunately it didn’t work out with the comet. It was just too bright on the horizon. Yesterday in the early morning there was a band of clouds that was up to 10° high and today it couldn’t be seen either. Well, at least I got a few nice pictures of the Kugelbake. Next […]
Pelican Nebula – IC5070
An image taken last night with the Skywatcher 72/420. The Pelican Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, which is about 2000 light years away. Exposure time was 6 hours with the ZWO ASI183MC. Recording Parameter
Stockholm
The four days in Stockholm flew by. A very varied city that has a lot to offer. As it wasn’t planned as a pure photography trip, I didn’t take very many planned photos. But I’m sure I’ll add a few more when I go through the pictures again.
Malmö
On the way to Stockholm, we stopped for a day in Malmö. The journey from Copenhagen to Malmö over the Öresund Bridge is impressive, but at €67 per journey it’s not exactly a bargain 🙂 The second favourite photo motif was the Turning Torso. A very impressive residential building.
