Am 9. Oktober war es dann soweit und die Quarks-Sendung “Zurück zum Mond: Der neue Wettlauf ins All” mit unserem Beitrag “Die Mondtäuschung” im WDR-Fernsehen zu sehen. Hier im Standbild mit Joana Abondo. Der Dreh mit Joana, Jakob Kneser und dem Filmteam im August hat großen Spaß gemacht.
Took a while to get this short time-lapse of the total lunar eclipse on 07 Sep 2025 online. Photographed at Frankenwerft, Cologne, Germany near central station.
Hat ein Weilchen gedauert, dieses kurze Zeitraffer-Video der totalen Mondfinsternis vom 7. September 2025 online zu stellen. Fotografiert auf der Rheinuferpromenade, Frankenwerft, Köln in der Nähe des Hauptbahnhofs.
Two years in the making, here comes a new Night in Namibia time-lapse video.

Obwohl ich dieses Video schon vor zwei Jahren auf Vimeo gepostet hatte, ist es noch nicht in meinen YouTube-Kanal und hier ins Blog vorgedrungen. Im Rückblick sehr surreal, die Weihnachtszeit im ersten Pandemiejahr.
Euch allen Frohe Weihnachten und einen Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr!
Already posted to Vimeo two years ago, this video never made it into my YouTube channel and the blog here. Very surrealistic, Christmas time back then in 2020.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to y’all!
Back on the Gamsberg, Namibia after a long CoViD hiatus. After the heavy rain season in spring 2022, the access pad (gravel road going up the mountain) was severely damaged and not passable for even a 4WD. During summer Nic of adjacent Farm Weener and his workers did a superb job in repairing the pad. So in August we went up …
The video shows uphill and downhill on the challenging access pad.
If you want to get a glimpse of the night sky on top of Gamsberg, have a look at my latest astro time-lapse video.
Special thanks to:
Nic for getting us safely up and down,

A new version of the time-lapse video, now including the latest sequences from August.
A new night sky time-lapse video from Namibia April/May 2022 is ready and posted to Youtube. Full HD, due to the size limitation not available at Vimeo. Enjoy!
For the gear heads: I switched from Canon EOS to Sony Alpha for the night sky time-lapses. The combination A7 III + FE 14 mm F1.8 GM is really a game changer for me.
Clouds/haze around dusk and limited transparency, but Leonard was bright enough to deliver approx. half an hour of usable data for this animation of the movements within the comet’s tail (22 RGB frames).
