Starclusters in Gemini (view on black)

21 Mar 2020 10 2 134
Die Linien verbinden die Sterne die den Fuss von Castor, einer der Zwilinge, bilden. M35, N 2158 und N 2129 sind offene Sternhaufen (wie die Plejaden) und N 2175 ist ein Sternhaufen mit schwacher Nebel. Eine Einzelbelichtung (Ausschnitt) mit f=85 mm, f/2,8, T=15 sec, ISO 800 und Nachführung. Die Darstellung als Negativ zeigt Details und schwache Objekte besser

Centre of Orionnebula

04 Mar 2020 18 5 152
Just a single exposure to test the Barlow lens. Canon in prime focus of Newtontelescope, D=15 cm f= 750 mm. Barlow lens is used to double the focallength.

The galaxies M95 and M96

10 Apr 2019 9 4 148
Two spiral galaxies of the Leo group. Combined 20 exposures The PiP shows three other galaxies of the Leo group

M101, die Feuerradgalaxie

09 Apr 2019 19 9 262
Combined 60 exposures with T=30s, ISO3200 and Canon 700D in prime focus of reflector with f=750 mm and D=15 cm

M101

02 Apr 2019 21 7 213
A nice spiral galaxy we see "face-on" in the constellation Ursa Major. For this picture I used 9 exposures

Plejades with Merope nebula (view on black)

28 Feb 2019 12 8 256
combined 50 exposures with a Canon 700D. Each exposure T=30 sec, f/4, f=200 mm and ISO=1600

An Orion triptychon

27 Feb 2019 26 12 309
Two sets of exposures, one centered on the Horsehead nebula (left) and one on the Orion nebula (right). Both sets are a combination of 50 exposures with a Canon 700D, f=200 mm, f/4,0, T=30 sec and ISO 1600. Tracking was done by a Newton reflector. The picture in the middle is a combination of the two sets and shows the correct geometry. The two brightest stars belong to the belt of Orion.

M42: Orion nebula (view on black)

14 Feb 2019 27 17 315
Combined 20 exposures. See Exif's. Used a Newton reflector with f=750 mm and D=15 cm and the camera in prime focus. Because of the moon, no ideal conditions

Constellation Cancer with Beehive cluster

03 Feb 2019 9 2 116
The least expresive zodiacal starconstellation Cancer with the nice open starcluster M 44, the Beehive cluster. M67 is another open star cluster. Combined 10 exposures

M51: The Whirlpool galaxy

19 Apr 2018 9 6 169
Reprocessed exposures, colour version Canon 700 D in prime focus of telescope (f=750 mm, D=15 cm) Combined 19 exposures, each T=15 sec, ISO 3200

M51 and companion

19 Apr 2018 15 10 178
clear sky, no moon, time for galaxies Canon 700 D in prime focus of telescope (f=750 mm, D=15 cm Combined 19 exposures, each T=15 sec, ISO 3200

Leo triple

19 Apr 2018 9 6 199
Three galaxies (1000000000 stars each) in a field with a size of the full moon Canon 700D in prime focus of telescope (f=75 cm, D=15 cm) ISO 3200 40X30 seconds exposure

M1 Crabnebula

14 Feb 2018 11 1 240
combined 40 exposures The remnant of an exploded star (a supernovaremnant). This explosion was recorded In China in 1054 AC. It is the home of the first discoverd pulsar, a fast rotating neutron star.

Orionnebel (view on black)

08 Feb 2018 20 15 260
Vorige Woche endlich mal wieder zwei superklare Nächte. Konnte den Orionnebel trotz kälte, nicht widerstehen, also nochmals ein Bild vom Orionnebel, vielleicht das bis jetzt beste. 50 Aufnamen je 10 sekunden mit ISO 1600, f=750, D=15 cm

M35

07 Feb 2018 7 189
An open starcluster in the constellation Gemini. Already good visible in a binocular f-750 mm, ISO1600, T=50 x 15 seconds

Orion nebula (view on black)

01 Feb 2018 11 6 288
9 exposures during full moon, so bad conditions

M1, the Crabnebula

20 Jan 2018 9 3 293
In between clouds I got 10 usefull exposures of this supernova remnant, the remnants of a star that exploded in 1054 AC. This explosion has been observed by chinese astronomers More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_Nebula
