Astrofotografie
Bij astrofotografie maak ik foto's van alles dat met de ruimte en de ruimtevaart te maken heeft. Denk hierbij sterren, sterrenstelsels, kometen, planeten maar ook aan 'man-made' objecten zoals satellieten.

Sygnus Mosaic
This image is really special, it's a six panel mosaic of the Sygnus constellation, captured over multiple nights. The main focus is on the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), both of which are prominent features in this region of the sky. The mosaic showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors of these nebulae, highlighting the areas of star formation within them. The area around the star Sadr is also included, adding to the overall beauty of the image. The full mosaic was created by stitching together six individual images, each taken with a SkyWatcher HEQ-5 Pro mount, a Samyang 135mm F2 telescope, and a ZWO ASI294MM Pro camera. The image is a SHO (Sulfur II, Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen III) composite, which brings out the rich colors and structures of the nebulae.
