Category: Deep Sky Object
Caldwell 7 is a bright spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis about 14 million light-years away; it reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed around mid-January.
A new object in my collection – the galaxy Caldwell 7.
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.
My final project of 2025.
I also used an exciting combination of technologies here.
A successful test for the future?
Finally, the full-frame Andromeda photo I set out to capture this year.
The Dragonfly Cluster (NGC 457) is a bright open star cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia at a distance of roughly 5,200 lightyears, and it reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed mid October.
Made optimal use of two nights. Quickly refreshed the collimation of the Cassegrain and completed the imaging session without any notable problems.
Sharpless 188 is an unusual planetary nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 850 light-years from Earth; it reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight and is best observed in mid October.
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.
