We organised a stargazing party in Sankt Andreasberg. I’m delighted that so many wonderful guests came along to enjoy the dark night sky up there. Alongside interesting talks and good conversations, I captured ionized oxygen and hydrogen in this part of the Eastern Veil Nebula. 🔭🤩🧪 #Astrophotography

Nice capture, Bernd! 🔭🤩

Fantastic Jupiter, Kelsi 👍🔭🧪

The open star cluster NGC 6823 in the constellation Vulpecula is surrounded by the beautiful emission nebula NGC 6820. The object just fits on my camera’s sensor, so I photographed it in early summer and accumulated a good 8 h of exposure time. 🔭 #astrophotography @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Are you sure it‘s not a romulan warbird 👽🛸🔭🧪🤣 Definitely a very nice image, Bernd 👌

Amazing images, Andreas. I feel so happy for you two to have experienced this event in such a nice place, without nasty clouds and to take such fantastic pictures as memories with you. Looking forward to the long story at the STATT in Sankt Andreasberg 🔭🧪

Fantastic Picture 👏🔭🧪

@deutschebahn.com Vielen Dank, dass der ICE 947 gerade auf den ICE 514 gewartet hat. Ihr seid richtig super!!

Beautiful, Nico 🤩👏 The southern skies have such amazing sights. 🔭🧪

Bending for money instead of striving for the advancement of science for the good of mankind. 🧪

TLI! Translunar injection complete, Artemis II apogee now over 400,000 km; they're heading to the Moon.

That‘s a nice one, Bernd! The long integration time really pays off with all those nice details 👋🔭🧪🤩

Contrast, Nico 🥳✨🧪🔭

Nice catch, Bernd! I like the rough texture of the galaxy with all the detailed substructures 👍🧪🔭

It looks as if it was made of three independently rotating discs like the time turner in Harry Potter novels. Thank your for the beautiful image of this celestial wonder 🧪🔭🚀

Astronomers are losing their minds over #NASAWebb’s latest images of the very brainy-looking nebula PMR 1. Its distinctive form is the result of a dying star expelling its outer layers: https://news.stsci.edu/4tVQccE 🔭 🧪

#PPOD: This stunning image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in the Egg Nebula, sculpted by freshly ejected stardust. Located approximately 1000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Egg Nebula features a central star... 🧪 🔭

Beautiful, Andreas. You propelled M1 a few places up on my wanted list. Did not expect it to be this detailed with a C8 🔭🤩🧪

Fantastic, Andreas. Ist’s a nice target well captured 🧪🔭🤩

Currently, several weaker comets are at least bright enough to be photographed. I captured 24P/Schaumasse on 17 January and the fragmented #comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) back on 26 December 2025. Their very different appearances are definitely worth further observation #astrophotography 🔭

What a wonderful night 🤩 The strongest solar storm in over 20 years produced an amazing show for hours. 🧪🔭

Finally, here is my composite image of the #Geminids peak on 13/14 December 2025. It was by far my most successful observation of a #MeteorShower, with over 260 meteors within 5 hours - what a night! The image is a composite of 61 individual shots of 15s and contains 65 Geminids. #Astrophotography 🔭

A beautiful way to eine the year! Wishing you all the best for 2026 🤩🔭

This is #comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) from 11 December with two distinct nucleus fragments. It has changed significantly compared to my image from 22 November - and it has clearly reduced its relative speed, as I was able to expose for a little longer this time... #astrophotography 🔭

A little late to the party, but here's last weekend's sun with massive sunspots, captured with a Nikon D5600 + Tamron 150-600 at 600 mm (f/8; ISO100; stack of 10 x 1/100 s) through thin clouds #astrophotography #sunphotography 🔭

Very interesting! Well done, Andreas 🔭🤩

Beautiful image, Andreas. Nice details and some mystical dust 🧪🔭

Beautiful Image, Bernd! Nice stars and a beautiful color palette make it rich in discoveries from edge to edge 🤩

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) taken on 19 October from the roof of our garage at 135 mm focal length (stack of 192 10s-subs). Despite thin clouds and streetlights between the comet and me, the gas & dust tails are clearly visible in different colors. Brings back memories of Hale-Bopp #astrophotography

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) in the early hours of 3 October, captured through the C8 with an ASI294mc and additionally with a Nikon D5600 and a Tamron 70-200 at a focal length of 130 mm. The #comet was also nice to observe visually and will hopefully brighten significantly. #astrophotography

Amazing! The name ist quite apt. One can see all the delicious bits an pieces 🫠 Glad you had clear night in France to capture this.

Weil done! Your new camera seems to keep you up an out. Looking forward to your next projects as the nights keep getting longer 🔭

That is an amazing image, Bernd! Congratulations 👏 58h is well beyond my longest integration time and really pays off in [OIII]. Definitely an inspiration to go deeper the next time I get the chance, too.

😅

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Wonderful sight 🧪🔭

Really great seeing last night for about an hour, and then the cloud appeared. Jupiter through my 8" SCT #astrophotography 🔭

😃👍 It’s an interesting color palette and I like the way it blends together. Thanks for sharing ✨🔭🌠🧪

M 45 - Pleiades, open star cluster in the constellation Taurus. Photographed on January 27 and 28, 2024. Telescope: TS-Photoline 102/714 + Reducer/Flattener x0.79 Camera: Omegon veTEC 571C, Gain 100, Offset 130. Filter: Optolong L-Pro, Total exposure time: 8h #Astrophotography

After two months of clouds, I finally got to spend a few nights under the stars again 😀🧪🔭✨ Messier 81 or Bode’s Nebula would be a little smaller than the moon and about half as tall, if it was bright enough. Right above is our youngest companion galaxy, the dwarf galaxy Holmberg IX.
