Since days very good weather conditions. It’s a complete different thing to photograph with a modified DSLR compared to last years image. Details
Since weeks bad weather… but yesterday I had luck ๐ 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 ๐ but I think the result looks good. 2x drizzled, resized to original resolution Details
One more Messier object for my catalog ๐ 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 ๐ Details
Finally the Pleiades with 400mm… I took the best 126 lights of 193 subs from 2 nights. Details
