Finally the sky was clear last night, so I captured once again the Wizard Nebula. With my last results I never was really happy. It is a difficult object for 400mm focal length… f/5.6, 2x drizzled and resized to original resolution. Details Cropped:
First light for my new UV-IR block filter. I want use it instead of the CLS-CCD filter, mainly to gather light wavelengths that are blocked by the CLS-CCD filter. 2x drizzled, resized to original resolution, almost no color manipulations except of calibration. I’m really sursprised about the result. It looks more dynamic to my last […]
Once again I captured the Cygnus Loop during the last two fantastic nights 🙂 The first night I’d to fight with wind… half of the subs were unusable…Yesterday was perfect! No wind and absolutely clear sky… Unsure how much star size reduction… I chosed this “medium” version 😉 Details
This was a bit challenging after 3 years break. I simply didn’t take the moon into account… 🙁 I started to capture the Dark Shark Nebula a few days ago when the moon was already visible from midnight. Bad idea…Even at 4° altitude above horizon the Moon reflects too much light to capture dark nebulae, […]
My first shot of the Propeller Nebula in the “nebula-rich” Cygnus region. 2h21′ integration. Captured on my balcony. 2x drizzled, resized to original resolution (50%). Details Propeller Nebula cropped:
Finally a clear night to start shooting after 3 years pause… The Star Adventurer & Co. is working fine so far 🙂 Details Cropped Fireworks Galaxy
I shot this M109 back in 2018 but never processed the raw data. A good practice to become fit again after more than 3 years pause 🙂 Details
After a 3 month break, finally a new image. I choosed M13 to start this season and to gain back practice 😉 Details
After weeks of bad weather finally a clear night. I started shooting 10 minutes after setup, so the lens had to cool down during the session. I had to re-focus every 20 minutes… Drizzled 2x, resized to original resolution. Details
This is the result of my first attempt to combine my 2016 and 2017 image with different exposure in PI. Both sessions @ f/5.6, Total integration time 214min. Details
