Common linnet
I did not find the carmine rosefinch I was looking for, but I was able to take some nice pictures of common linnets.
Eurasian dotterel
I also wanted to have a look at the Eurasian dotterel sighted near Cuxhaven. So I drove there on Saturday and looked, but there was nothing to discover. But I had luck with a bluethroat. This Sunday morning in the morning again there and looked. Yes, there were 10 to 15 Eurasian dotterel present, but […]
C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS)
The night I wanted to take pictures of the M81/M82, I had to wait a little bit before it was dark enough. Since the C/2019 comet had burst two days before, I targeted the C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) comet and took 20 pictures as a test. What a pity, I wish I had taken more 🙂 […]
M42 – Orion Nebula
I have reworked my picture of the M42 from March 2020. The first version had a strong banding which became very visible in the dark areas. Furthermore I made the core a bit darker to bring out the objects there a bit better. In addition, 32 light frames were sorted out where the image was […]
European stonechat
Early this morning in the Duhner Heide. In the best light of the morning sun I was lucky to meet several European stonechat.

While the D2x made a timelapse, I had enough time to take some pictures. First with the Nikon D80, the Nikkor 16-85 and the Hoya 720nm filter some infrared images. Later I took […]
Mein Schiff 3
It was far too late to remember that Mein Schiff 3 had docked in Cuxhaven to bring ashore the crew members who had been stuck on the cruise ship for months due to the Corona pandemic. At least this morning we went to the harbour area for some quick shots. But strong wind prevented us […]
Windmills
Today I took some infrared pictures with the modified Nikon D80. About 4 more weeks, then it will be worth it with the foliage on the trees. Both images were taken with the D80, Nikkor 16-85 and a Hoya 720nm infrared filter. Editing was done in Photoshop and Lightroom on black and white.
Cuxhaven Duhnen
Duhnen on April 26, 2020. Spooky emptiness on the beach. Just a couple of strollers are on their way. If one thinks about, what’s going on here in this weather at this time of year…
