After the camera went out of focus last time, I decided to give NGC6995 another try. This time the focus is much better. Here is the result 🙂 The image is also available in full resolution.

For this image I setup the telescope and went to bed… Unfortunately, due to a major temperature drop at night the camera went out of focus. So I think I will visit this object quite soon, again. The image is also available in full resolution.

In this short video I summarized all the best astro images I made over the last year. Most of the images have been taken from Boeblingen using a 8″ Newtonian telescope and an Atik383L+ camera. All the images are also available in full resolution on my website. The video has been composed using openshot, an open source video editor for Linux (many thanks to the development team).
Clear skies!
