Captured with a Baader modified Canon 5D Mark II (ISO 1600) DSLR and a Takahashi Epsilon-180ED (500 mm f/2.8) on an Astro-Physics Mach1 GTO mount under a 21.5 magnitude/arcsec² sky in Étoile-Saint-Cyrice (Hautes-Alpes, France) on 25 & 27 March 2014. It's a two pane mosaic with a total integration time of 1 hour and 35 minutes.
Dusted off this 11-year-old image of Orion's Belt which was shortlisted in the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2014 competition by the Royal Observatory at Royal Museums Greenwich.

NGC 2170, the Angel Nebula in Monoceros
A bit noisy due to lack of exposure time on this tenuous object in Monoceros. I decided to process the data, as I most probably have to wait for moonless, clear nights next winter to continue on this object.

Roll-off Roof Observatory 2.0 - Maurice Toet
This gallery hosted by SmugMug; your photos look better here.
In 2020 I built my first GreenLine roll-off roof observatory in my back garden in Zoetermeer. This prefabricated observatory is made by Dome Parts GmbH. After moving to De Kiel in 2024, I started building another one. Progress photos of the second observatory can be seen here.

Captured with a Nikon D810a in prime focus of an Astro-Physics 130 mm f/6.3 StarFire GTX "Gran Turismo" Triplet Apochromat (F = 819 mm, 1/15 seconds @ ISO 1000).
Saturn, 3 minutes prior to lunar #occultation. Unfortunately it was too cloudy to witness the egress (third contact) of #Saturn on the lit side of the #moon.

Beautiful #conjunction of #Venus and the #Moon this evening. Tomorrow evening, #Saturn will be occulted by the Moon. Fingers crossed for clear skies...

Het was prachtig om te zien. Hopelijk klaart het morgenavond op om de Saturnusbedekking door de maan waar te kunnen nemen.

The end of 2024 is near, so here's an overview of astronomy activities and sightings I was happy to witness and observe:
- Comet P12/Pons-Brooks
- Spectacular Aurora displays
- Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS
- Attending the starparties in Wateren & Grandpré
- My yearly visit to Olly in Étoile

My main imaging setup going strong for ± 12 yrs: Takahashi ε-180ED + Astro-Physics Mach1. Here in combination with a Nikon D810a.

Thank you, Lewes! Yes, the are many of these dark nebulae in Perseus. Taurus is also a good candidate for 'molecular clouds'.
