Full moon
Yesterday, in the early evening, I photographed the full moon once again. Again with the Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF, but this time additionally with the Nikon 1.4 teleconverter, so effectively 700mm plus 1.5 crop factor of the Fuji X-T3. Above the result from 500 images. Of the 500 images, 100 had > 90% quality for […]
Starlings
Approximately 10000 starlings are currently seen on the Cappel-Neufeld compensation areas and the adjacent dike. From the observation tower a few avocets could also be observed and a meadow pipit was quite busy supporting the breeding.
1/3 moon
Pileated woodpecker pair
As expected, it didn’t work quite as well with the X-T20 and the Fringer adapter. The camera is not as fast as the X-T3, but still usable. The pictures here were taken with the Nikkor 300mm f/4.0 PF.
Rosette nebula
Yesterday evening I could get my first usable result with the iOptron SkyGuider Pro mount. It is already damn hard to find the right section of the sky with LiveView without GOTO functionality. The one shown was the third attempt. This definitely requires more knowledge about the objects in the sky and also in interaction […]
Fringer NF-FX (FR-FTX1)
Short test of the Fringer NF-FX (FR-FTX1) adapter with the X-T3 and the Nikkor 500f/5.6 PF. The adapter works excellent. I still have to experiment a bit with the autofocus settings of the X-T3, but otherwise it is already very good. Exif data is also fully adopted. This could make the Nikon D500 obsolete 🙂 […]
Colour of the moon
The moon is not as colorless as one might think. Here is a version of the last image taken of the (nearly) full moon with extended color saturation in the individual channels. This inspires to take more pictures of the earth’s satellite and especially to “stack” them to get more details in the pictures.
Nearly full moon
Very early morning
Actually, I wanted to find out if you can still see the Milky Way above the bright city, but unfortunately that did not work. When testing then so slowly on the horizon the twilight set in. Since the lighting of the Kugelbake again and again once partially failed I had the opportunity to capture this […]
