Finally, the full-frame Andromeda photo I set out to capture this year.

A next-level photo of Earth’s Moon! I tested several new techniques, and I’m really happy with the result.
Made optimal use of two nights. Quickly refreshed the collimation of the Cassegrain and completed the imaging session without any notable problems.
A single, crystal-clear evening. I felt like taking out my VC200L with the reducer and capturing another Caldwell object that was still missing from my collection.
Another comet for my collection. Once again it was a very close call – I had almost given up hope of getting a photo of it.
The “supermoon” in November 2025 — captured at the end of a rather late comet session.
The Andromeda Galaxy as an intermediate project. I still had 5 hours of luminance data from September, which I combined with the RGB data from 2021. Thanks to my current workflow, it looks really good.
Magical evening in Lahnstein: witnessing the total lunar eclipse with students, visitors & cameras – the Moon appeared right on time!
With the IRIX 15 mm f/2.4 and Canon EOS R: Milky Way over Fearnach Bay (Scotland, Bortle 2). Single shots without tracking.
41 hours of exposure over 14 nights – my most demanding astrophotography project yet: Sh2-119 in Cygnus.
