Das Foto entstand im Februar 2026. Es ist mein erster Versuch einer Deep Sky Aufnahme und zeigt den Orion Nebel. Aufnahmeort ist mein Garten, mitten in der Stadt. Umgeben von Straßenlaterne und Fensterbeleuchtung war ich zuerst skeptisch, ob es überhaupt möglich ist, den Nebel hier einzufangen.
20 Aufnahmen a 40 Sekunden. Bearbeitung mit Siril.
300mm Tele, Skyfilter von Cokin, Pentax KP mit Astrotracer. Stativ etc.
The sky was clear so I set up a camera to start at 22:30 and run until the battery ran out :) (poor prep) #nightsky #nightskyphotography #Aurora #auroraborealis #aurorainscotland #photography

From Empty Observatory to Fully Remote Telescopes
The observatory was built.
Power was run.
Internet was live.
The roof rolled back.
But inside? Nothing.
No telescopes. Just empty structures waiting to actually do what they were designed for.
So i brought in the gear.
This wasn’t my equipment. These were full remote imaging systems that will live their entire lives under dark skies, operated from hundreds, sometimes thousands, of kilometres away.
Two telescopes.
Precision mounts.
Cameras.
Mini PCs.
Power distribution.
Networking.
Automation.
Everything installed from scratch.
Balanced, wired, configured, tested, and commissioned to run completely remote. Once i left, the only thing touching these systems would be photons.
From empty observatories to fully operational remote telescopes.
This is what it actually takes to turn a structure in the middle of nowhere into a working remote imaging system.
