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

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.
Check out my latest image of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101), captured from home under a beautifully clear sky.
The Whirlpool Galaxy is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, lying some 26.1 million light-years away, reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed mid April.
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.
NGC 2976 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major at a distance of 13.4 million light-years, reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed mid February.
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!
M 90 is a Seyfert galaxy in the constellation Virgo, lying about 29.4 million light-years away, and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed late March.
M 89 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo, lying about 63.2 million light-years away, and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed late March.
