Since it’s almost Full Moon I decided to capture a star cluster to continue testing my new mount. This time with 90 seconds exposure time, like on the Star Adventurer. A slight DEC error was present on 4 of 48 subs… The interesting fact is that the error appears in a 10 minute interval = […]
Finally a clear night to start shooting after 3 years pause… The Star Adventurer & Co. is working fine so far 🙂 Details Cropped Fireworks Galaxy
After a 3 month break, finally a new image. I choosed M13 to start this season and to gain back practice 😉 Details
Since days very good weather conditions. It’s a complete different thing to photograph with a modified DSLR compared to last years image. 2021 reprocessed with slightly different/new processing steps. 2x drizzled, scaled down to original resolution. The old version is still available on AstroBin. Details
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
Many clouds this night… 50% not useable lights 🙁 but I think the result looks good. 2x drizzled, resized to original resolution Details
One more Messier object for my catalog 😉 M92, nothing spectacular, but further a good test for my new Bahtinov mask. Details
Finally M13 at 400mm focal length. The weather forecast was not really good, but it was it worth. f/5.6, ISO800, 104min total exposure time Details Drizzled: Normal:
Finally the star clusters are coming again… I’m starting with M3 at 400mm, f/5.6. Looking forward to M13 Hercules Cluster 😉 Details
Finally the Pleiades with 400mm… I took the best 126 lights of 193 subs from 2 nights. Details
