Shot the supernova in NGC 5907. Since I hadn’t had that galaxy at my list since a long time, I tried to get a nice photo of the galaxy with its supernova.

First Shots with WO Pleiades 68
I’m still in the process of getting this telescope up and running. In the meantime, I’ve managed to take some nice snapshots. I’ve posted some of them on my website.
The Foot of Gemini – Eta Geminorum
Largest galaxy of the Virgo cluster
Updated the „Galaxies Gallery“ with a photo of Messier 100 and some companions. M 100 is apparently the largest galaxy in the Virgo galaxy cluster.
Growth on the Auriga image map
I added an 12h RGB exposure of IC405 to my Auriga Image Map.
Owl Nebula
Almost 14 years after my first photo of M 97 and M 108 I finally took a second photo. Both photos are placed under „Closed Encounters„.
Simeis 147
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.
Another equipment test
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.
Treasures from long-forgotten places
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.
Coma Corrector Update III
Coma Corrector Update I+II
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.
