Description

A test of the Wilhelm Foerster Observator (Berlin) 6" Zeiss f/15 refractor with a Canon 60D-a camera and an IDAS v4 filter on the Orion nebula.

Exposure time was limited to 30 seconds because I forgot to bring the camera remote control.

This image is dedicated to Martin Dentel, who trained me at the telescope and guided me all the way to obtaining access rights to the instrument.
