I photographed the Rosette Nebula again after five years. Several attempts, incorrect framing, discarded color channels, and unfavorable lighting conditions turned the project into an adventure.

Sh2-147, Sh2-148 and Sh2-149 compact H II patches in Cepheus roughly 4,500 light-years away. Sh2-152 and Sh2-153: Two adjacent H II regions in Cassiopeia about 4,500 light-years away. Those are best observable in September.
Magical evening in Lahnstein: witnessing the total lunar eclipse with students, visitors & cameras – the Moon appeared right on time!
41 hours of exposure over 14 nights – my most demanding astrophotography project yet: Sh2-119 in Cygnus.
LBN 728 is an emission nebula located in the constellation Ursa Major and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed late January.
LBN 729 is an emission nebula located in the constellation Ursa Major and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed late January.
My first astrophotography project with my mono setup. A journey with ups and downs. In the end, a total of 22 hours of exposure time on truly rare and challenging objects: LBN 728 and LBN 729.
Sharpless 229, also known as the Flaming Star Nebula, is a combination of reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Auriga, approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth. This nebula reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around mid-December.
The first light of my first mono setup is finally done! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time… and the imaging session had a few surprises in store.
Sh2-236 material that I originally created for a “with OWB” vs “without OWB” filter test. Somehow, it feels like a shame not to develop an image from it.
