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 […]
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.
