The Moon in mineral colors. I saw this fascinating method of blue and brown colors in several astrophoto groups around the internet. I had to test this myself.

Astrophoto: Saturn and Jupiter – 08/08/2021

Clouds. Week after week! At the beginning of August i had to try Jupiter and Saturn at the same day. Even with bad seeing conditions.

Astrophoto: NGC 6914 – 07/21

The available data are not the best. Nevertheless, the step to use a flattener was very important for me.

Astrophoto: Great Hercules Cluster – Messier 13 – 06/21

A photo that is not worth this awesome cluster. A picture out ouf test shots while configuring flattener distance. But i achieved a different milestone.

Astrophoto: Markarian’s Chain – 06/21

At CS number 16 started something completely new. I shot with a piggyback camera. This evening was a horrortrip, at least i came out with something to show.

Astrophoto: Pinwheel Galaxy – Messier 101 – 04/21

The Pinwheel Galaxy – One of the famous Galaxies for Spring evenings. I had to ignore moon to practise more in astrophotography.

Astrophoto: Bode’s Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy – Messier 81 and Messier 82 – 04/21

Bode’s and Cigar Galaxy, two well known Galaxies on the spring sky. I really like the result for only 30 minutes total exposure.

My first dithering!

As a beginner in astrophotography there comes the day, when you stumble on dithering. And it is worth using it.

Astrophoto: Monkey Head Nebula – Sharpless 252 – 03/21

Dear Monkey Head Nebula: I won!
I tried it countless times. I was never successful to get a picture out of this material. Now, almost 3 years later I got a workflow (and the software) to handle this!
