Stunning globular cluster Messier 92 in Hercules (~27 000 ly away), captured with faint background galaxies—June session highlight!
One of the oldest globular clusters in the Milky Way, ~25,000 ly away in Serpens. A true cosmic fossil!
Captured M71 in Sagitta—about 13,000 ly away—a loose, orange‑rich globular cluster that truly pops in color during our 2–4 AM session!
34,000 light-years away in Canes Venatici.
Captured this globular cluster after midnight on May 16, 2025, during my May Messier tour.
Caught Messier 56 (~33,000 ly away in Lyra) on night 1 of my globular cluster run. Short exposure, decent guiding—solid result!
Captured M53 in Coma Berenices—58,000 light-years away. A dense globular cluster, imaged from home.
Check out my latest image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), captured from home under a beautifully clear sky.
At the height of this year’s galaxy season, I finally captured my first image of the stunning Whirlpool Galaxy (Messier 51).
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.
