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.

My 2023 reprocessed version. The Beehive Cluster or Praesepe. Marry Christmas to all who celebrate it.
The Pinwheel Galaxy – One of the famous Galaxies for Spring evenings. I had to ignore moon to practise more in astrophotography.
Bode’s and Cigar Galaxy, two well known Galaxies on the spring sky. I really like the result for only 30 minutes total exposure.
As a beginner in astrophotography there comes the day, when you stumble on dithering. And it is worth using it.
A brief description of how I got into astrophotography, where my focus lies, and where the journey is leading me.
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!
2023 reprocessed picture of Caldwell 49, the Rosette Nebula, based on the data from 2021.
Reprocessing is worth it. I like the new result.
Some of my early collected light from 2021. Only 1h collected light is just not enough. Reprocessed in 2023. I like the stars much more, the rest is a question of masking and curves.
