I’m very happy with this result of NGC 7023 🙂 I tried the Iris Nebula a few weeks ago from my home. Just 20 minutes (13 x 90s) at 280mm without guiding. But that’s not camparable with this one… I was very careful with the polar alignment and balance. And I had luck. I did a test […]
Playing a litlle bit with the 100D and the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 during the Iris Nebula shooting 🙂 M31 and M33 galaxies on one picture. Details
First light with my new Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L @ f/5.6. Very nice lens! Unfortunately I’d to go down with the exposure time more than believed. But anyway a nice result 🙂 Total 134 minutes. Details
280mm @ f/5.6 What a wonderful clear night on Gurnigel in Bern @1600m. But it was a little Power-Nightmare for me… First, I forgot to load the spare batteries of my 100D. So I had only 1 battery (~2h) for Milky Way, Location and Equipment… Second, I’ve planned to do 4h of lights (80 subs […]
First test using Dithering with the MGEN. If Dithering (Random Displacement) is on, the MGENII slightly moves the RA axis of the mount between the shots. The moving amount value is setup in pixels and can be found in main menu – Random Displace – Width. 280mm @ f/5.6 65 subs total. Minus 5 subs […]
Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396) A fantastic night on our local mountain Weissenstein (1300m). 280mm @ f/5.6, 147 minutes, 12 darks, 79 bias Details

First light with the MGEN II Auto Guider. Unfortunately, because of upcoming clouds I could not reach the astronomical twilight… But I’m very impressed by the guider! Finally I can eliminate the periodic error of my Star Adventurer. Usually between 40% and 70% of my subs was usable. Today I was able to double the […]
