A picture from last night. Unfortunately the season is already quite advanced, so the view of Orion is not so long in the evening. Therefore here first only 3500 seconds exposure time. Maybe I will manage to add a few more exposures. Recording parameters

NGC 2264 – Cone-Nebula & Christmas Tree Cluster
I am not very satisfied with my image of NGC 2264, there should be more in it. I don’t know what exactly is the reason. Well, in any case a beginning… Recording parameters
M81-/M82-Group
On March 8 I photographed the M81/M82 group again. This time with the ASI183MC and the Skywatcher Evostar 72/420. Unfortunately I screwed up the flats and had to help myself in post-processing (the ring is still easily visible). Recording parameters
Flame- and Horsehead-Nebula
Last night I photographed the Flame Nebula in the constellation Orion. Besides the Flame-Nebula and the Horsehead-Nebula, the bright star Alntiak is also well visible on the image. Recording data
First Light
So far I was only able to use the automated installation for astrophotography once very briefly. The weather from November to February in Cuxhaven is less than modest. On Friday it was surprisingly cloudless for a few hours. So, equipment set up and tested. It was also more test than serious trying to take pictures, […]
M42 – Orion Nebula
In the night from December 25th to 26th I had the opportunity to photograph the Orion Nebula. I am not finally satisfied with the processing, but for now it is ok. Unlike the previous shots of this object, the Running Man comes out well here. Recording data
Wintersun
Once again a few solar images. The sunspots have changed a lot compared to the last pictures. Now the last thing I will do in the near future is to try out the ZWO 120MC camera. With its 1/3″ sensor, there should still be decent magnification in it.
You can’t get more…
This morning I once again set my sights on the sun. This time I tested the GFx and the Nikon D800 on the Maksutov 1300mm in addition to the X-T3. The D800 does not work at all. Due to the mirror impact, no reasonable image came out of it. The GFx is actually quite good, […]
Once again the sun
Two images from this morning. This time with the Fuji X-T3 on the Skywatcher Maksutov 1300mm. It is very difficult to set the focus correctly. On the Liveview almost nothing can be seen because of the ambient brightness and in the viewfinder I miss the magnification (I have not yet found how to set it). […]
The Sun
Now it finally worked out. Clear sky in the morning. The sun is very low but at least some change from the normal day. Quite a large number of sunspots are nicely visible. Taken with the D500 on the Maksutov 1300. The sharpness is not as hoped for, but perhaps one can still work on […]
