Solar System

The objects of our Solar System in my astrophotography: our Moon, the Sun, and all other objects, especially the planets.
Comets have their own category.

In the Solar System category, I present my astrophotography of objects within our own planetary system. This includes our Sun, the Moon, and the planets with their moons and other companions.
The focus is on bright, relatively nearby objects that, due to their apparent size and wealth of detail, are particularly well suited for high-resolution imaging: sunspots and granulation on the Sun; craters, mountains, and maria on the Moon; cloud bands and storms on the planets; as well as their moons and associated phenomena.
Comets, because of their distinct appearance and origin, are assigned to their own category and are not included here.
