I was surprised by the fact, that I never shot the Pacman Nebula during the last 2 years. So this evening was a good possibility for it 🙂 f/5.6, drizzled 2x Details
Thank you very much for more than 7000 views on my both retrospective videos!!! Retrospective 2017 Part II is in progress and will be online soon! Meanwhile enjoy 2016 and 2017 Part I:
I was asked a few times to show how I process my images. So here is my (current) workflow which I use as basement. I created it over the last 2 years with many help from other people on AstroBin or tutorials in the internet. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find my real check […]
Since weeks bad weather… but yesterday I had luck 🙂 So, again M45 Pleiades (how wonderful to focus with the Bahtinov mask because of the bright stars…), this time at f/5.6. Therefore no spikes. It looks more realistic to me with the round stars and no spikes… Drizzled 2x and resampled to original resolution. Details
Faint clouds moved in front of the moon and it looked very interesting. So I shooted a series of pictures. One good image of 21 is the result 😉 Details
Many clouds this night… 50% not useable lights 🙁 but I think the result looks good. 2x drizzled, resized to original resolution Details
Yeah. I got more lights 🙂 I had luck with the weather… it was risky to drive on Gurnigel. I had to wait 1 hour… but then clear sky 🙂 The Helix nebula looks very very similar to M57 regarding shape and colors. Very interesting… 2x drizzled and resized to original resolution. Includes the lights from […]
This time weather forecast was right 🙂 Details Compare to last year shot (with unmodified DSLR):
Unfortunately it is very difficult to layer the foreground (mountain silhouette) because of the fine grass… f/2.8, ISO3200, 11 x 13s: f/2.8, ISO3200, 12 x 13s: f/2.8, ISO3200, 16 x 13s:
It was on top of my shooting list: the Helix Nebula The night started very good. But I had to wait for the Helix Nebula because it is very very low… Unfortunately clouds arrived quickly so I had to stop shooting… Shooting the Helix Nebula at Gurnigel (clouds arriving from west): NGC 7293 Helix […]
