Supernova remnant M1 (Crab Nebula) - 20 December 2011
The occultation of a star by asteroid Ennomos (4709) - 11 August 2011 - updated
I found in my inbox an e-mail informing about a possibility of an occultation 9.2 mag star (TYC 2224-01391-1) by asteroid Ennomos (4709). I could not make up my mind whether to go or not because the weather was neither good nor bad. There were plenty of clouds in the sky. Finnaly, after an analysis clouds from satellite pictures I decided to try it. It was the right decision.
Total Lunar Eclipse - 10 December 2011
The total lunar eclipse was on the program a few minutes ago. Unfortunately there were too many clouds. I was able to capture it just after beginning and one photo during the show. Nothing more. It is pity. It could be a nice eclipse.
Dark nebula B3, B4, B5 a IC348 - 29 November 2011
When I was considering what to capture during this night I found dark nebulas (B3,4 also known as LDN 1740) in the bottom of constellation Perseus in a sky map. The nebulas are very faint and it is very complicated object for DLSR to capture. Althouth the result is not good I decided to show it.
The occultation of a star by asteroid Deiphobus (1867) - 17 November 2011
Another positive occultation of a star by asteroid. Althouth I was out of an expected shadow line I managed to catch it.
Globular cluster M15 - 12 November 2011
There is my another attempt of this globular cluster. You can compare my first photo of M15 that I took almost 6 years ago and this one. The difference is obvious.
Passive air cooling for Canon 350D - 02 November 2011
I have decided to try another modification of my Canon 350D. The first modification was an original filter exchanging, the second one is about a passive air cooling.
