Finalized the processing of my S 147 data collected in 2025. The processing tends a bit towards over processing, but I hope it is still gentle enough in order not to exaggerate it.
It’s placed in the wide field gallery.
Catching tiny particles with effort.

During a hard disk cleaning session, I noticed that a test photo was actually quite nice to look at. This test should assure e proper running gear during my upcoming trip to Tenerife. I put the photo to my wide fields.
The processing of the underlaying date never lead to an acceptable result of my Purgathofer-Weinberg 1 shot. With new processing tools I could produce a good result, finally.
Since I’m now experimenting with the Starizona Nexus as a possible replacement of my 0.73x corrector, I revised the corrector pages corresponding to my 10″ astrograph and added much information to „Optisches Konzept“ and „Optik in der Praxis“. I did this basically for my own documentation, hence it is in german language.
Added a second test under the night sky with my DIY QHY-Adapter. It seems to be a usable set-up.
The area where Serpens, Scutum and Sagittarius join is close to the center of our milky way and many nebulas can be found there. Among others, the famous Eagle Nebula (M16) and Omega Nebula (M17) are located in this region. Added a page showing photos taken over the years.
Taking the first photo (no in the archive) of it at Athos at LaPalma in 2018 I had issues regarding framing and reflexes.
During my 2025 vacation at Tenerife I tried it a second time. Shot an update at Teide approx. 2040m asl. Find it in the wide fields.
Added a photo taken this year during April to the gallery. The data hided at my hard disk suring summer, but no they been process satisfactorily.
Since years I’m trying to get a picture of the supernova remanent SNR G65.3+5.7. One brighter part of it is Sh2-91. Here I collected my notes and the latest result of summer 2025.
I added an 28 hour exposure of the M 81 Group showing the galaxies and the so-called Integrated Flux Nebula. See my picture page for more information and a comparison to a photo of 2017.
