Bebenhausen at a winter's night 2015-02-02

Almost full moon, new snow and a clear sky since quite a while. Reason enough to take a camera and tripod and make a detour to Bebenhausen on the way back home from Tübingen.

Oops! During the exposure tripod head and camera suddenly startet to rotate. Luckily, they've waited until half of the exposure time had passed creating this effect.

Spring Triangle 2014-03-21

The Spring Triangle is a distinctive formation of the southern spring sky. It is formed by the stars Arcturus (constellation Bootes), Regulus (Leo) and Spica (Virgo).
A smaller, but more regular triangle can be drawn using Denebola (at the Lion's tail) instead of Regulus. With these three stars and Cor Caroli (constellation Canes Venatici), the Great Diamond can be formed (upper two edges dotted in the image).

startrails 2013-12-13

This startrail image is basically a result of trying to catch photos of the Geminid meteor shower. Exposure time 12 min (48 x 15 s). The brightest trail (right of the center) belongs to Jupiter. Almost full moon and upcoming fog didn't make it easy to catch photos of meteors, but one happened to be clearly visible on a photo:
