Wow, what a great image! Absolutely love it! I don't know the region that well, but there even seems to be galactic cirrus 😍

PuWe 1 is one of the largest and faintest planetary nebula known. Its apparent size almost reaches that of a full moon! It lies in the constellation of Lynx at a distance of about 1200 light years.

PuWe 1 captured from my dark site in southern France 🇫🇷 😊🔭

This was shot on the EdgeHD 8 with Hyperstar at f/2 for a total integration time of about 6.5 hours using an OSC cam with the Baader UHCL filter.

Thank you, Phillip! 😊
Was also surprised about all the details, but I think I still need to sharpen a bit more...

Thank you, Bernd! 😊

Foto des Supernova-Überrestes Messier 1 (Krebsnebel) im Sternbild Stier. Der Nebel zeigt viele grünliche und rötliche Filamente. Die Aufnahme entstand im Januar 2026 mit einer gekühlten Astrokamera (ASI294mc Pro) an einem Teleskop Celestron C8 mit insgesamt 6h 26min Belichtungszeit

The Crab Nebula (M 1) in the constellation Taurus was the second prominent supernova remnant that I captured this January. It is already visible with larger binoculars, but all the nice filaments only show up in the photo. Total integration: 6h 26min #astrophotography 🔭

Thank you, Phillip!

Thank you, Bernd! Has been quite challenging since the "normal" C8 produces a lot of deformed stars and background noise, but at least there is an image 🤣

Two-panel mosaic of the Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) taken with an astro camera ASI294mc Pro through a telescope C8 with a total exposure time of 16,5 h.

The Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443), a prominent supernova remnant in the constellation Gemini, was my first attempt at a mosaic. The idea only came to me during data collection, but after some challenging editing, I am kind of happy with the result. 🔭 #astrophotography

Short timelapse of #comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) shows its movement within 1 hour. The comet is quite faint... #astrophotography 🔭

Foto des Kometen 24P/Schaumasse vom 17. Januar 2026, aufgenommen mit einer Astrokamera durch ein Teleskop. Der Komet zeigt eine große grüne Koma, ein Schweif ist nicht zu erkennen.

Foto des Kometen C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) vom 26. Dezember 2025, aufgenommen mit einer Astrokamera durch ein Teleskop. Der grünliche Komet zeigt einen langen Schweif und zwei Kernfragmente

Currently, several weaker comets are at least bright enough to be photographed. I captured 24P/Schaumasse on 17 January and the fragmented #comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) back on 26 December 2025. Their very different appearances are definitely worth further observation #astrophotography 🔭

A short time-lapse of yesterday's bright northern lights in the Harz foothills. I'm still thrilled by yesterday's spectacular views – today's #aurora is significantly weaker... #AuroraBorealis #Polarlicht #astrophotography 🔭

Crazy #AuroraBorealis last night at latitude <52° N, even hitting Orion in the southern sky above the Harz mountains. What a night! #astrophotography 🔭

🤣 Da hat sich Deine Ausdauer echt ausgezahlt!

The Spider Nebula is an emission nebula with an embedded open star cluster. Sh2-234 is located in the constellation of Auriga (Charioteer) at an estimated distance of about 7,500 light years away from Earth.

Sh2-234 (IC 417) The Spider Nebula captured from my patio on six nights in December 😊🔭

It was shot on the EdgeHD 8 for a total integration time of about 50 hours in mono using Ha, SII and OIII narrowband filters and combined with RGB stars.

Klasse, Bernd! Ein tolles Objekt, da hat sich die viele investierte Zeit wirklich gelohnt 👏🏻

Thank you!

Vielen Dank, Stefan!😊

Danke Dir! 😊

Thank you!😊
I only worked with Photoshop Elements, took one shot as background image, added all other shots as layers, aligned them with the stars and drew layer masks that only kept the meteor of that shot.

😍

Thank you! I love your image from 2021, must have been a great night

Thank you, Bernd!

Wow 😊

Glaube, ich hatte ein paar doppelte dabei 😉

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you!🙏

Komposit aus 61 Aufnahmen des Sternenhimmels mit 65 Meteoren, aufgenommen in der Nacht vom 13. zum 14. Dezember 2025 während des Maximums der Geminiden. Im Vordergrund sind Bäume und eine Wiese zu sehen.

Finally, here is my composite image of the #Geminids peak on 13/14 December 2025. It was by far my most successful observation of a #MeteorShower, with over 260 meteors within 5 hours - what a night! The image is a composite of 61 individual shots of 15s and contains 65 Geminids. #Astrophotography 🔭

Thank you 😊

Thank you, Kat!☺️

Danke!😊
