Amateur Astrophotography from the Black Forest, Germany
Welcome
Welcome to my non-commercial Homepage. I am an Amateur Astrophotographer, living and imaging from the Black Forest, Germany. I have started visual astronomy about 20 years ago, nowadays I am mainly interested in taking images from Deep-Space Objects. On this page I would like to share my experiences and encourage exchange among us astrophotographers. Below you will find my gallery and the guestbook. Please post any comments or questions there.
Don't be afraid of collimating an RC telescope
A star tracker as the main mount? A heavy payload test of the Skywatcher Star Adventurer gti
NGC 2264: The Christmas Tree Cluster and some improvements to the ZWO AM5 mount
First attemp with a Mono-Astronomy-Camera: What results can you expect?
An interesting test of an affordable alternative to the Celestron 0.7x Reducer for an EdgeHd
Here I want to share my experiences of an affordable alternative for reducing the focal length and the f-ratio of an corrected SC-Telescope (Celestron EdgeHd, Meade ACF...).
Spoiler: It works surprisingly good
A really heavy payload test of the new ZWO AM3
What is possible with a MONO Camera in one night? IC 443 and NGC 2174
A truly independent test of the ZWO AM5 mount
Imaging with a Color-Camera under heavy light pollution with a "Nebula-Booster" Filter
In this short review I want to share my experiences with the Hutech IDAS NB1 Filter using my f/2 RASA8 Telescope and a One-Shot-Color-Camera under heavy light pollution
Reasonable Results with only about 2 hours of integration time? Fast Imaging with an f/2 Scope
