My own Astrophotography


Some of these astronomy photos I took during the 1990s. I shot these photos with not so advanced equipment and during a hard light polluted city sky.

I have now been taken up my astronomy hobby again and is now building a new modern astronomy photography equipment. But even these new photos I mostly shot from my home, a very high light polluted area, Bortle class 9, at the summer house 4 and at La Palma I visited25 years ago 2. Note, I don't have any special camera, only a standard DSLR camera.

Future plans or dreams.

Daves limit is the theoretical resolution of the telescope/lens. It depends on the diameter of the lens and the wave length. In this case it's calculated for the green wave length. " stands for arc seconds, one degree is 3600". The Moon is 1800" wide, Andromeda galaxy 10'000" wide. The stability of the atmosphere limits the resolution, often called seeing, very good seeing is 2". More to read about my equipment: Equipment.
