Finally cooler and longer nights 🙂 But the session started with a non-responding GEM28 after starting the guiding calibration… so annoying!At least the rest of the night was problem-free… Details
I think the CLS-CCD does a good job for the Heart Nebula. Especially from my light polluted home. Details
Unfortunately I had to crop the image due to a strong reflection across the entire upper part of the image. It must have been caused by the star Almach (Mag. 2.15)… It’s time to darken the tube of my 130PDS. 2x drizzled and resized. Details
After my test shot a few days ago, this time at the right angle 😉 Details
The weather forecast wasn’t the best… but I tried my luck and wasn’t disappointed! M 33 is the ideal size for my 130PDS 🙂 Details
Finally I could try my 130PDS on the Persei Double Cluster. I was concerned about the diffraction spikes. But I’m pleasantly surprised 🙂 Details
While waiting for the main object I decided to take some shots of M 31 Andromeda Galaxy with my 130PDS 🙂I have to rotate my DSLR about 20 degrees to get the best possible field of view for Andromeda… next time… Details
My DSLR doesn’t like these temperatures… Had to fight with background noise structures. Looking forward for the colder nights 😉 Details
650mm focal length is already to much for the whole North America Nebula, so I tried to capture the most interesting area of the North America Nebula. At least most interesting to me 😉 Details
Finally clear sky! The Wizard Nebula now with 650mm focal length.What a difference to my previous shots of the Wizard Nebula at 400mm 🙂 Details
