Yesterday evening it was actually – and against all expectations – clear for a few hours. With the iOptron Skyguider, the Fuji X-T5 and the Samyang 135mm I ventured to the Veil Nebula once more. I had to reduce the Veil Nebula, due to the long focal length, to the Eastern Veil Nebula last time. […]

Eastern Veil Nebula
Last night it was finally clear again, at least until 11 pm. Time enough to photograph the Eastern Veil Nebula in Cygnus for 3.5 hours, the remains of an approx. 8000 year old supernova. Recording data
Sun and sunspots
Last Wednesday I made several attempts with the Fuji X-T20 and the Nikon 1 J4 at the Maksutov 1300mm. It still doesn’t quite want to succeed… When shooting with the Fuji camera, I partially managed to remove the Newtonian rings, but still the edge area is a bit flat, not very pronounced and too […]
Partial solar eclipse
On October 25, the partial solar eclipse visible from Germany took place. At first it did not look as if the weather would play along. But the second half of the approx. 2 hours it was clear. I had both telescopes set up. At the CGEM26 with the Skywatcher ED 72/420 I had mounted […]
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
Perseids IV
In the night from August 12 to 13, that is at the peak of the Perseids, we were lucky to have clear skies. With temperatures of at least 17°C conditions prevailed that made it possible to spend the night outside. Unfortunately we had also full moon exactly in this night, which strongly impaired the brightness […]
Perseids III
Last night I went out again to make another attempt with images of the Perseids. This time it was much more successful concerning the quantity. However, there was no Perseids as bright as last night. The shots were then merged into a single image using PS. This time I used the Fuji GFx with the […]
Perseids II
Letzte Nacht habe ich mich noch einmal an den Perseiden versucht. Zunächst bin ich vor Mitternacht nach Altenbruch gefahren. Wiederum gelangte nur eine Perseide auf den Sensor. Sehr hell, hatte ich diese bereits während des Fotografierens gesehen. Danach bin ich – da es zusätzlich noch eine Polarlichtvorhersage gab – noch zur Alten Liebe gefahren. […]
Perseids
In the night from Saturday to Sunday I had set up my Nikon D500 with the Samyang 135mm and photographed the radiant of the Perseids between 11 pm and about 4 am. Unfortunately, I was only able to capture one Perseid on the sensor in the entire 5 hours. OK, the peak is around August […]
Summer sun
With the sun high in the sky last Thursday I made a panorama of four single images of the sun. The image was taken with the Skywatcher GTi mount and the Fuji X-T3 on the Maksutov 1300mm combined with the Kenko 1.5 teleconverter.
