Check out my latest image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), captured from home under a beautifully clear sky.

Whirlpool Galaxy, Apr’25

At the height of this year’s galaxy season, I finally captured my first image of the stunning Whirlpool Galaxy (Messier 51).

Messier 81 – Widefield, Mar’25

Messier 81 and surroundings in widefield!
Luminance captured at Hohen List, RGB taken earlier in Koblenz.
6h20m total exposure – a great showcase of what this scope-camera combo can do.

Markarian’s Chain, Mar’25

Two perfect nights in March 2025 — one under the pristine skies of Hoher List Observatory, the other at home under my suburban sky. Luminance captured on-site, RGB from home. Couldn’t be happier with the result!

Moon, Mar 4 ’25

As so often, this photo of the Moon was also taken at the edge of a deep-sky session-this time, for a change, with a rather thin crescent.

Messier 97, Mar’25

In March, I added luminance data to my OSC Messier 97 image from 2023. I think the result is quite impressive.
