Description

After a long break, I've found the enthusiasm for astrophotography again. I was never truly gone and have been observing all of you here. Now, it was time to put the stuff out and start capturing again.
Those who have known me for a while are aware that there could be no other target than a supernova. I'm also pleased that, in the end, there were even two...
The weather wasn't entirely forgiving despite four consecutive days of clear skies. The seeing was mostly mediocre, it was windy, and yet somewhat hazy.
My equipment was kind to me after being left in the closet for almost two years. However, the collimation seems to have suffered a bit, and the focuser is a bit shaky, causing me to deal with some tilt issues.
Enough complaining; all of this is part of our hobby!
I hope to get out more this season, and you'll see some images from me here.

Best regards from wintry Germany
Michael
