Astrophotographer from Luxembourg - I like the night sky, our planet, trees, spaceships, mountainbikes and lego. I also like breathing (exercice), walking barefoot, and politics (when in the right mood)

This will be my big project for the winter season. Yesterday’s sky allowed me to gather 2 hours worth of h-alpha data, which convinced me to go with this framing. Planning to go all in with all the filters blazing… :-) SHO palette with some RGB and RGB stars. #astrophotography

The area around LDN 879 in the Cygnus constellation, close to the bright star Sadr, about 5,000 light years away from earth. Not the most popular target in Cygnus, but there’s a lot going on here. A complete rework of my narrowband data captured with an 8" Newton & ASI1600mm. #astrophotography

Since the weather won’t let me go comet hunting, I’m working through some old data. Here are my Pillars of Creation. They’re about seven years old now, and they came out pretty sharp considering my equipment and skill set at the time :-) So here’s a rework and heavy crop. #astrophotography

The central area of the Soul Nebula (IC 1848) in the Cassiopeia constellation, about 7,500 light years away from Earth. Less than 2 hours of h-alpha data (combined with older color data). Targeting 20+ hours of exposure. Gear: 130/910mm apo, Antlia 2.5nm ha-filter & ASI 2600mm pro. #astrophotography

IC 1795, or the Fish Head Nebula, about 6,000 light-years away. This was probably my last project with the 8" Newton. I'll soon be shooting with a 6" apo refractor. Gear: 203/926mm Newton, 2600mm Pro camera & 2,5nm ha-filter, ~6 hours of exposure. Color data from an older shot. #astrophotography

A clash of fire and ice? Not quite, more like turbulence within incredibly vast gas clouds of ionized hydrogen, oxygen, and sulphur, located in the Pelican nebula (IC5070) about 1,800 light-years from Earth. Gear: C11 at 1960 mm & Touptek 2600 camera. #astrophotography

Wake up nerds, the first images from the Rubin Observatory just dropped!
Rubin’s specialty: a wide field of view and speed. This gorgeous image of the Trifid and Lagoon Nebulae combines 678 exposures taken in 7 hours.

First results from my newly collimated C11. 🤩 After failing with OCAL and other (indoor) methods, I finally got a Tri-Bahtinov mask and apparently nailed it within five minutes on Vega. Nebulae (4h each) shot through a 2.5nm H-alpha filter. The (daylight) Moon using an IR filter. #astrophotography
