Moon mozaic

These picture's where taken in a period of exeptional clear weather in Holland. To make these pictures I used several frames taken with the Philips SPC900 webcam. In Photoshop these frames where combined to "the bigger picture". Click on the individual pictures to see the full format version.

Spiral galaxy M101

For this picture I tried to use a longer exposuretime for the individual frames. The majority of the frames have an exposuretime of approx. 1 minute on ISO 1600. The total exposure time is almost one hour!

The frames are stacked in DeepskyStacker and the colours are enhanced in Photoshop.

Another globular cluster; M3

Last night clear skies again. So a chance for a next globular cluster; M3. I used 50 frames of 30 seconds on ISO 1600. I stacked them with DeepskyStacker (I like the live stacking feature in DeepskyStackerLive). In Photoshop I streched the picture and added some colour.
