Good morning ☀️🙂

✨🔭Nine hours have passed. The #smarttelescope ’s internal battery is still at 100%, while the external 240,000 mAh power bank is down to 16% 🪫. Both the #Vespera2 and the power bank are frozen solid. ❄️

More on this galaxy NGC 2403 coming soon in my timeline. Have a great day! 🌌

Sunspots are darker, cooler areas on the surface of the Sun, caused by interactions within its magnetic field. #solarphotography ☀️ They can vary in size and last from a few days to several months, generally following an approximate 11-year cycle known as the solar cycle.

Guys, first of all: Merry Christmas #stars 🎄🎁

I’d love to tell you stories about visual impressions through classic telescopes, fine eyepieces, and the darkest places around here — but instead, my timeline is filled with images and impressions of robotic technology. That’s just how it is.

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the Triangulum Galaxy. #Messier33 #galaxies

The question I’m often asked—“Why do you photograph the same galaxy again?”—is much like asking why we cook 👨‍🍳 the same meal more than once, or why we return to the gym 🏋️ week after week...

☁️ Despite the fake weather forecast predicting clouds all night, the sky here is crystal clear. ✨ I’ve started a six-hour exposure on Messier 33. These are the first two minutes. The show is on. 🌌 #Astrophotography

Stars and myths in the skies ✨🔭👀🧙🪄

🏛️ In the Greek mythology, the constellation Andromeda represents the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of Ethiopia...

☀️🔭‼️ Please note that all my solar photography always involves the mandatory use of a special solar protection filter in front of my camera lens. For more information, please contact your telescope or camera dealer. Thank you. #solarphotography

Perfection is a Myth, 20.12

In the Middle Ages, the prevailing belief was that the heavens, including the Sun, were perfect and unchanging. This idea stemmed from ancient Greek philosophy, particularly the works of Aristotle, which influenced both medieval Christian theology and scientific thought

✨🔭 For the record:

Acting as we amateurs #astrophotography #contentcreators do stands in quiet opposition to the idea of “giving in order to get” that so often defines material thinking…

In Greek mythology, Orion was a hunter of unmatched strength and pride, walking the Earth as boldly as his figure now strides across the winter sky. #stars

🦉✨Going to bed late. Waking up early. Just to admire the quiet beauty of the morning starry sky.

This image shows Jupiter, the greatest of all our planets, shining in the constellation Gemini during the early morning hours of December 18, 2025. #MorningSky
