YES! I finally got that guiding thing down. As I had planned it yesterday, I took another look at M81/M82. With the Kenko 1.5 teleconverter I wanted to get the two galaxies bigger in the picture. However, the strong wind has put a small trickle in my calculations. Of the 200 shots, there were […]

Leo-Triplett the third
In the night from Saturday to Sunday I pointed the telescope once more at the Leo triplet and took another 100 pictures with ISO 800 á 45 seconds. From the usable 90 images together with the usable images from April 17th I got a total exposure time of 6345 seconds. First of all I am […]
Leo Triplett 2nd version
Last night I once again targeted the Leo triplet. This time with the help of a Kenko 1.5 teleconverter and with ISO 800 instead of ISO 1600. Although there are fewer shots and less light (due to the lower ISO), I like this version much better. It is planned to increase the number of shots […]
Two times Neufeld
Actually I wanted to go to Spieka-Neufeld yesterday evening, but the wind was too strong to fly and the clouds became increasingly dense. Today in the early morning it looked much better. The flight maneuvers are working better and better with the small drone. Since the weather was excellent, I drove to Dorum-Neufeld to […]
NGC 3628 – Leo Triplet
Last night I tried the Leo triplet. Because I did not use guiding, the maximum exposure time was 45 seconds per picture. Probably too little for the faint galaxies. The recording data and astrometry evaluation.
Easter weekend in Cuxhaven
A short walk around the old fishing harbour on Easter Sunday. Desolate in Corona times. Normally there would be a lot of tourists here in great weather. Besides, the usual fish market was probably planned… …hope dies last…
Cuxhaven Altenwalde
Originally it was only intended to take some pictures of the old Hinrich-Wilhelm-Kopf barracks, but it also offered the opportunity to film the Cuxhaven Küstenheiden nature reserve from above. The video contains a complete 360° turn of the flight site and here you can see the complete area of the nature reserve, the former military […]
Cuxhaven Döse
Yesterday late afternoon in Döse. Of course, the Kugelbake monument must not be missing … It’s still scary how little goes on here in Corona times. It was quite cold, but the weather otherwise first class. Under normal circumstances there would be a lot more people here.
White-tailed Eagle
Short trip to the Stintstedter See and actually lucky. A white-tailed eagle circled shortly over the area. The crow did not like this at all and after about 3 minutes the eagle let himself be driven away. A small flock of grey geese landed on the lake shortly afterwards.
Cuxhaven Sahlenburg
A few impressions from last night in Sahlenburg. There was almost no wind and accordingly the Mavic Mini was calm in the air. It was also possible to fly up to 100m without a message in the DJI-Fly software.
