Etosha – Day 1 – Giraffe at Ondongab Waterhole #2

So many animal picture to dig through … but here comes a first selection of images from our 4 day visit to the Etosha National Park, Namibia in September 2023. Unbelievable, the sheer number of animals at the waterholes and along the pads during the dry season.

Massen von Tierbildern, die erstmal abgearbeitet werden müssen … aber hier schon mal eine erste Auswahl Bilder von vier Tagen im Etosha Nationalpark, Namibia im September 2023. Unglaublich, welche Mengen von Tieren an den Wasserlöchern und entlang der Schotterpisten während der Trockenzeit zu sehen und zu fotografieren waren.

Only three of the quartet, NGC 7522 is a bit further out, but NGC 7599, 7590, and 7582 just barely fit the frame. Data from September at IAS Observatory, Hakos, Namibia.

Image data from 18 Sep 2023, taken on-site at the IAS Hakos Observatory, Namibia. The spiral galaxy NGC 1097 in Fornax with a back then new type II supernova 2023rev, discovered on 08 Sep 2023. So only 10 days old in this image (see marker), or 45 million years, depending on the perspective.
