My first dithering!

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.
An evening with photos like cold milk.
On the third evening i focused on the Andromeda Galaxy and I used PixInsight the 1st time in postprocessing.
7 Days after my first evening with my Vixen ed80sf, on February the 20th 2021, i had another clear sky. Again, i had to test and try a lot.
An evening in february in 2021. The first evening under clear skies with my new telescope. The first time hunting for deep sky objects.
The very first photo with an deep sky object was the Orion Nebula. It felt lika a miracle.
