You don’t get this often: colorful aurora at 51° latitude, north-east of Cologne, Germany. A strong solar storm is currently impacting Earth.
Das sieht man auch nicht alle Tage: Polarlichter in allen Farben über den ganzen Himmel bei heimischer 51° Breite, nordöstlich von Köln. Ein massiver Sonnensturm trifft gerade auf die Erde.
Total Solar Eclipse 08 Apr 2024 – Corona Composite v1
Another image from the total solar eclipse of 08 Apr 2024, a highly processed HDR composite of the corona, using 13 x 2 exposures from 1/1000 to 4 s.
There was a bit of a focus problem which I noticed only when reviewing the telephoto frames. Thus, my TSE 2024 shots aren’t as sharp as they could be.

Barnard 35 – Dark Nebula in Orion – IAS Remote Telescope, Hakos, Namibia – Jan 2024 – LHaRGB v1
Another astro image with data from the IAS remote telescope, Barnard 35, a dark nebula in Orion. Nothern hemisphere form southern skies, or the other way round? ;-)
CG30, CG31A-E, CG38 – Cometary Globules in the Gum Nebula and more Dark Nebulae in Puppis – IAS Remote Telescope, Hakos, Namibia – Jan 2024 – LRGB v1
New data from the IAS remote telescope, comprising 2 panels for this mosaic. Somewhat uncharted territory in Puppis, at least regarding the NGC and IC catalogs, with several cometary globules in the outskirts of the very large Gum Nebula.
More scientific details about the objects can be found in this older publication by ESO, see page 71, section 2.1.4 CG30/31 and HH12.
NGC 1546, 1549, 1553 – Galaxies in Dorado – IAS Remote Telescope, Hakos, Namibia – Dec 2023 – LRGB v1
Recent data from the IAS remote telescope, collected over two nights. NGC 1546, NGC 1549, and NGC 1553, plus IC 2058 in this field of view in the constellation Dorado. The interacting galaxies NGC 1549 and 1553 are part of the Dorado Group.
