Photobook Eclipse Road Movie
The photobook of the road trip Texas to Missouri series is now readily available at my Blurb bookstore. Even if you don’t want to buy it, paging through the preview gives a good impression of the book.
Die Serie des Roadtrips Texas to Missouri is jetzt als Fotobuch bei Blurb verfügbar. Auch wenn man es nicht kaufen will, lässt sich beim Durchblättern in der Vorschau ein guter Eindruck gewinnen.
BTW: aktuell ist beim Bestellen der USD-Preis auf blurb.com viel günstiger als der EUR-Preis auf blurb.de!
Texas to Missouri
After more than 6 years, another total solar eclipse brought us back to the US. Weather forecasts favoured Texas, so that’s where we went. But for the eclipse day on 08 Apr 2024, things turned out differently, so after the visit to Austin and Houston we took the long haul to Pocahontas, Missouri. This second part of the series shows the road trip from Texas to Missouri and back again, visiting West Texas after the eclipse.
Nach mehr als 6 Jahren hatte uns wieder eine Sonnenfinsternis in die USA verschlagen. Die Wettervorhersagen favorisierten Texas, das daher unser Reiseziel war. Für den Tag der Finsternis am 8. April 2026 entwickelte sich jedoch alles anders, bessere Aussichten je weiter man in den Nordosten kam, also hatten wir uns kurzentschlossen auf die lange Strecke nach Pocahontas, Missouri gewagt. Der zweite Teil der USA Serie zeigt den Road Trip von Texas nach Missouri und zurück nach der schwarzen Sonne in West Texas.

Cometary Globule CG 10
Continuing with the CGs, this one took really loooong, from mid January to mid February. Alas, CG season is also rain season in Namibia. Good for the country, but not so much for astrophotography.
Part of the ever growing CG catalog here at Photography > Astrophotography > Cometary Globules.
As always, more details at Astrobin.

Another CG image, completed just after Christmas Day, showing CG 15 (lower right) in Puppis and CG 16 (upper left) in Carina. Two more for the growing catalog of CGs here.
More details at Astrobin coming soon.

CG season is also rain season in Namibia, so it took a while to gather enough data for image, adding to the growing catalog of CGs here.
More details at Astrobin coming soon.

Difficult processing with these data: separating stars and galaxy with StarXTerminator doesn’t work well here, too many artefacts. So all the stretching was done with the starfull images, with just a bit of star reduction on L, to preserve the many little, mostly blue stars in the arms of NGC 300.
More details at Astrobin.

It took a while, but now round three of the Squares made it to my website. The images from 2022 to 2024 were already published as a photobook.
Es hat ein Weilchen gedauert, jetzt ist die dritte Runde der Squares auch hier auf der Website zu finden. Als Fotobuch sind die Fotografien von 2022 bis 2024 schon etwas länger verfügbar.
