Programmer, photographer, engineer.
After a successfull failure in finding C2020/F3 the previous night, I managed to shoot some pictures of it in the night sky over Linz.
In my last post I wrote about how I tried to take photos of C2020/F3 (NEOWISE), but didn’t manage to. So I decided to give it another try the next day.
About the importance of research for proper photography and how a chain of mistakes can lead to an unexpected, but great result.
If you follow my blog posts regularly then you know by now that I am doing astrophotography from time to time. Especially if there are noteworthy events that can be easily spotted. As you surely have heard by now currently the comet C2020/F3 (NEOWISE) is visible in the night sky and as you probably also heard it is only visible in the early early morning hours.
I managed to get pictures of a starlink trail and images from the launch of Crew Dragon DM2 mission towards ISS.
Currently SpaceX is building up their network of telecommuncations satellites with the ultimate goal of providing cheap satellite internet globally. As they need to achieve global coverage they have to launch their satellites into different orbits, which means that not every launch will be visible from Europe.
A special constellation of planets and talk about astrophotography and HDR tools.
A couple of days ago I was made aware by a work colleague that there will be a nice lineup of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon this week. Small problem: The lineup is visible at around 4am in the morning and only for about an hour or two. At first I did not want to take photos, because I really don’t like waking up that early, but after some thinking I decided to go for it anyway. After all this is exactly the kind of crazy stuff I love to do, also it was a nice chance to have a reason…
