My Photo of the Venus-Jupiter-Conjunction 2023, massively overexosed but I like it.

My single shot, overexposed, picture of the Venus-Jupiter-Conjunction.

Intergalactic Wanderer - C25 - Caldwell 25 - NGC 2419 is a globular cluster located in the constellation Lynx and is sometimes referred to as the "Intergalactic Wanderer" because it is situated far outside the Milky Way.

My very first astrophoto with my mobile Astrophoto-Camp.

Orion Nebula - M42 - Messier 42

In my new workflow, even the trapezium comes to light. I’ve added more color to my 2024 version of the picture.

Upper left: Guiding WITHOUT UV/IR cut filter. Upper right: Guiding WITH UV/IR cut filter. Lower center: Guiding WITH UV/IR cut filter and very good balance and seeing.

Is it necessary to use an UV/IR cut filter? If yes, is this something you can really see in your results?

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) - I am still quite happy with the result. Especially considering the weather conditions and the short time frame in the morning hours.

I used a short clear time frame in the morging hours to capture comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF).
