Last night I tried again on the North America/Pelican Nebula. The nebula is already quite large, so here with the Samyang 135mm on the Nikon D500. Funnily enough, without having planned it, I had photographed exactly the same nebula exactly 5 years ago. Progress is visible… The recording data. The bright star on the right […]

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 […]
M42 – Orion Nebula
On Saturday evening it finally worked out again and I could do an astro session. I wanted to photograph the Orion Nebula M42 again. This time with more environment. Last time I used the D5200 crop camera, this time I used the D800 FX. The image shown here is the 1st try. As with the […]
M42 – Orion Nebula
I have reworked my picture of the M42 from March 2020. The first version had a strong banding which became very visible in the dark areas. Furthermore I made the core a bit darker to bring out the objects there a bit better. In addition, 32 light frames were sorted out where the image was […]
NGC 7023 – Iris nebula
Actually I wanted to photograph the Rosette Nebula last night. But the nebula is a bit too big for the D5200 crop camera. Therefore I postponed it for now to try it again eventually this week with the D800. As an alternative, I have programmed the software for the Iris Nebula. I had already made […]
M42 – Orion nebula
Last night the conditions were superb for taking astrophotos again. Since it is still possible, due to the season, I wanted to photograph the M42 Orion nebula. After the problems with the equipment the night before, this time it worked perfectly. The recording data and astrometry evaluation.
NGC 7023 – Iris nebula
After the Bode galaxies shots I programmed the software and took 175 pictures of the Iris Nebula. This ran until about 4:30 am. The recording data and astrometry evaluation.
NGC 7000 and IC 5070
Last night I was waiting for the intended object to rise. Since my gear was ready before, I took the opportunity to shoot my first nebula images. The NGC 7000 image was done with 40 lights and 10 darks at 60 seconds using ISO 1600 on my D800. The IC 5070 image was done with […]
