Added a dark nebula region between Draco and Cepheus to the widefield gallery.
Leo Triplet and Tidal Tail
During December 2025 ans April 2026 I took many shots of the Leo Triplet in order to catch the tidal tail of the Hamburge Galaxy.
Finally I got more than 30 hours exposure time. Find the Photo showing the galaxies and the tidal tail here at the galaxies gallery.

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.
