Finally completed the album with images from the trip to Anatolia, Turkey for the total solar eclipse on 29 Mar 2006, somewhat in time for the 15th anniversary.

IC 410 – Tadpole Nebula
Again, two months to gather enough photons for this image. The bulk of the exposures were taken during a spell of five clear, cold nights in Feb 2021, though. The emission nebula IC 410 also includes the open cluster NGC 1893.
More details at Astrobin.

A new approach to the Pacman Nebula with the L-eNhance filter and bicolor processing. No so much for clear skies in the winter season here, took over two months to gather some meagre 10 hours of exposure time.
See also Astrobin for all details.

Trotz widriger Wetterbedingungen waren die sechs Nächte auf dem Gamsberg der Höhepunkt der Namibia-Reise, ein wenig “Star Party” Feeling auf 2340 m, die nächste Farm zwei Stunden entfernt, bei schwierigster Auf- und Abfahrt. Alle Bilder hier im Album Gamsberg.
Despite the cold and rainy weather, the six nights on the Gamsberg were the climax of our Namibia tour in 2018, a bit of “star party” feeling on 2340 m, two hours to the next farm, via a most difficult pad. All images here in the corresponding Gamsberg album.
