I present the results of my hobbies and interests: astrophotography,
a photographic "freeware" tool: the QuickDisc,
moon images and 360°x180°
panoramas [german]. |

| I have started to test some Nkon lenses
using my D200 for their usability for astrophotograph: Nkon
astrophotography lens test. I tried to present the results
in a format where comparisons can easily be made. Be patient
for all images to load, after that you can move the mouse
cursor over the various exposure and see the resulting image
with 100% crops of the center and corners. |
|  On
Saturday, January 13th the sky was quite clear, so I tried
to take some pictures of Comet McNaught in broad daylight.
It turned out that the comet was even visible with the naked
eye! See the images here.
|
|  An
image of Comet
C/2006 P1 McNaught. It is the brightest comet for 30
years. It is quite near the sun, that makes viewing only
possible in the short window of time after sunset when the
sky turns dark enough for the comet to show up, and before
the comet sets.

pages from a 1939 BMW folder:

The QuickDisc is a free tool
for deter- mining the exposure compensation when photgraphing
small objects with a large format camera. You can download
the QuickDisc as a PDF document adn print it. It was downloaded
more than 8000 times from Juli 1999 (that was when I began
counting...) to Juli 2000. |
