As I have no time to maintaine my homepage
you'll find my latest images (2005/2006 with Canon 350d) here:

Older images (2004 with small Nikon CoolPix):

Let's make one thing very
clear: A Nikon CoolPix 5400/5700 is not a SBIG ST10 EX (it also costs around 1/10), but you can have already A LOT OF FUN in AstroImaging with these small toys. At least I have and this page is meant to share this fun with all of you who are also interested in the wonderful night sky.

You can access the images on this page sorted by different catagories or just see them in historical order by date taken.

See below an overview of all the available catagories.

I would like to thank Denis Bailly from astroscope who inspired me a lot with his CoolPix images and made me believe, that imaging deep sky objects is doable with digital cameras.
