While waiting for Jupiter and the Moon there was still Saturn. This was the last Saturn for this year.
Category: Astrophotography
Too much Moon leads me to planetory imaging … here my Jupiter. One month before opposition.
The Wizard Nebula or Harry Potter Nebula. 8h35′ exposure time with my Baader Travel Companion.
Open star clusters are always welcome targets when it is clear that the weather will not hold in the coming days, and only a limited amount of exposure time will be available.
My 1st version of the beautiful Iris Nebula Caldwell4 with my Baader Travel Companion 95/580.
Singleframe of the Iris Nebula with Meteor/Shooting Star. This time it was neither a plane nor a satellite.
The Fireworks Galaxy and the Open Cluster NGC6939. The result of 4 awesome evenings of integration time.
Taken after clouds came in while testing some focus configuration with an OAG.
Reflection nebula embedded in HII. The newly processed data from my first astrophoto taken with my Baader 95/580 CaF2 Travel Companion APO in 2023.
Some starting points for those who are still looking for better guiding (like me) for astrophotography. If you got more good ideas for better guiding, please let me know in the comments.
