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!

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.
In March, I added luminance data to my OSC Messier 97 image from 2023. I think the result is quite impressive.
In March, during a short astro session, I captured the bright open star cluster NGC 2281 in the constellation Auriga.
Messier 64 in March 2025 – captured with a focal length of 1800mm using the Vixen VC200L.
Jupiter time! It was the perfect opportunity to attach my planetary camera to the telescope in Tower 1 at Hoher List.
Galaxy Messier 106, the first single galaxy picture this galaxy-season. More data is waiting for integration.
Planet time! It was the perfect opportunity to attach my planetary camera to the telescope in Tower 1 at Hoher List.
Many open star clusters are great to capture with the 1800mm focal length and a full-frame camera. This was also the case with Messier 67.
My initial experience with the Baader Planetarium LRGB filters left me very satisfied with the purchase.
