First light for my new Bahtinov mask. I’m very happy with it. Much sharper result than the last M57 image. This time at f/6.3, ISO800 and only 60sec. M57 is a planatery nebula. 2300 LY away from Earth. The nebula emissions contains expanding and glowing ionized gas, expelled from red giant stars in the last […]
Finally on the sky, M57 Ring Nebula 🙂 First time at 400mm. I’m happy with the result but 400mm is to short. Details Drizzle 2x integration: Normal integration:
Messier 78, about 1600 LY distant from Earth. Unfortunately I didn’t hit the focus very well 🙁 My coldest night this season… -5°C but it felt like -20°… I never shivered this way before while focusing… I need better gloves and a few more layers of clothes 😉 Details
Today evening I did a test shot with the EF 400mm f/5.6L and Kenko 1.4x converter at 560mm f/8. Only 24 minutes… in a cloud free phase. With much more subs it could be an interesting combination… Details
This evening I checked in Stellarium the sky and found this 2 nice objects. M97 Owl Nebula and M108 Surfboard Galaxy. Asking myself why I didn’t found and shoot them earlier… so easy to find with the star Merak 🙂 Details
Cold, but wonderful start in 2017 on Gurnigel 🙂 Details
I started on our local mountain Weissenstein… but it was so windy… impossible to work… Finally I ended again on Gurnigel 🙂 It was also very windy at the beginning… good I decided to stay longer. It was it worth 😉 Details
Yes, another clear night on Gurnigel… 🙂 Probably 90s would be better next time… It’s center is so bright… Details
Perfect start into holidays with IC 434 Horsehead Nebula and his beautyful neighbor NGC 2024 Flame Nebula 🙂 What a wonderful clear and cold night at 1600m on Gurnigel. The next days it should stay clear… hope for some more shots of this area 🙂 Details
Just a preview of my next target… the weather…. 🙁 Details
