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 […]

Everything around my hometown and the Cuxland
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 […]
Perseids and more…
Well, that was quite a surprise on the afternoon of 12 August. A fat oval of aurora borealis with the prospect of it lasting into the evening was announced. I abandoned my plan to photograph the Perseids in Dorum and instead drove to the Kugelbake – or rather to the northernmost point of Lower Saxony […]
50th summer evening by the sea
We were lucky… The weather got better towards the evening and the rain from the afternoon was over. Of course, there was a lot going on on the dyke and the promenade. OK, so the advertised laser show was a bit of a home-made affair… My first fireworks that I have photographed. […]
Sahlenburg
Lotsenviertel
On the way from the harbour festival through the pilot quarter. It is noticeable that the town of Cuxhaven has little interest in a well-kept appearance. Unfortunately, things don’t look any better in the city centre.
Grimmershörn
Futile attempt to see NLCs again this season, well then, the probability is decreasing for 2024, but don’t give up yet 🙂 The same motif as a b/w realisation, but with the Nikon D5300 full spectrum camera. Finally, once again the Cuxhaven landmark…
