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) 🌍🇪🇺🇱🇺 | working @alia.lu
'A bridge across the Soul' - A new attempt at the Soul Nebula (IC 1848), featuring the central bridge area, as the whole thing doesn’t fit on my sensor. Total exposure time of 30 hours over 5 nights. Gear: TS CF-Apo 130/910mm, ASI2600mm Pro camera & halpha/OIII/SII nb filters. #astrophotography
Not a sandworm from Dune but a Wolf-Rayet star (WR134). Gear: TS-Optics CF-Apo 130/910mm & ASI2600mm Pro. ~11 hours exposure (halpha = blue & OIII = orange) #astrophotography #space #nebula
NGC 6960, western Veil Nebula. Gear: TS-Optics CF-Apo 130/910mm & ASI2600mm Pro. ~12 hours exposure (halpha & OIII) #astrophotography
Maybe one of my top 3 favorite deep-sky objects: (parts of) the Sadr nebula complex. 25 hours of exposure. Details & tech info: www.astrobin.com/xsvzqa/ #astrophotography
The Elephant's Trunk as seen from my backyard. Thanks to excellent seeing during the first halpha night, I was able to capture way more detail than in any previous attempts at this target. Total exposure time ~24 hours over five nights. Details & tech info: www.astrobin.com/wmumgo/ #astrophotography
Quite astonishing data quality I acquired last night with the 5" apo. Probably the best seeing I’ve ever had. #astrophotography
The Orion Nebula in some kind of narrowband mix. I found new halpha data on the drive that I apparently forgot to process earlier this year, and combined it with older color data. 130/910mm apo & ASI 2600mm for the halpha/luminance data. #astrophotography
The Heart of the Heart Nebula. Gear: TS-Optics CF-triplet Apo 130/910, Zwo ASI 2600mm Pro, Antlia narrowband-filters(halpha, OIII, SII), OAG-Guiding, EAF, EFW, ASIAIR, EQ8-R Mount. Exposure about 20 hours. #astrophotography
15,2% lit crescent moon (20.04.26). Gear: C11 & ASI178mc #astrophotography
The Cygnus Wall in NGC 7000 about 2.500 light years away. Gear: 8" Newton & 2600 mono. ~20 hours of exposure. Rework. #astrophotography
More Moon data :-) Parts of the Mare Imbrium with the Montes Apenninus. Gear: C11 & ASI178mc #astrophotography
The transition between Mare Tranquillitatis and Mare Serenitatis, with slightly increased saturation. Approximately 430 km wide. Gear: C11 & ASI178mc #astrophotography
20-panel mosaic at 2800 mm focal length under (for my region) excellent seeing conditions, resulting in my sharpest ever Moon shot. If you want to zoom in => high-resolution image: www.astrobin.com/3o7wkg/ #astrophotography
Last Nebula before galaxy-season: Rosette Nebula. Gear: 130/910mm apo, ASI2600mm, SHO-filters with RGB stars. #astrophotography
More data from the 25th of February under quite good seeing conditions. I know that the increased saturation is not to everyone's taste, but I like it a lot when it’s not too much. 🙂 Gear: C11 & ASI178MC #astrophotography
about to 'land' on the lunar south pole... ;-) Gear: C11 & ASI178mc #astrophotography
Excellent seeing conditions on Wednesday, so I went for my first full lunar mosaic with the C11 in quite a while. Here's a first glimpse: Archimedes, Autolycus & Aristillus. Gear: C11, ASI 2600mm + red-filter for luminance, ASI 178mc for colour. #astrophotography
Yesterday’s sidekick: Jupiter with two of its Galilean moons, Ganymede and Io. Gear: 11" Schmidt–Cassegrain, 2600mm sensor, RGB filters. #astrophotography
Orion core in narrowband (SHO). Gear: TS-Optics CF-Apo 130 & ASI 2600mm #astrophotography
I haven’t posted in a while, so here we go. The Flaming Star Nebula, captured from my backyard. Gear: TS-Optics apo 130/910, ASI 2600mm pro, Antlia narrowband & RGB filters. Exposure: about 48 hours #astrophotography #space #nebula #astronomy
She’s still there. New gear also means a new Andromeda shot. Gear: 130/910mm apo & ASI2600mono. Exposure ~16 hours. #astrophotography
Menkib and the California Nebula. After failing to get the whole nebula into the FOV, I tried something different: focusing on the tension between that beast of a star and the nebula. Gear: 130/910 mm APO, ASI 2600MM Pro & SHORGB filters. Total exposure: ~15 hours over 4 nights. #astrophotography
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
