Astromical Highlights 2018

Some of my Astronomical Highlights of 2018 are summarized below :

- Nighscape Startrail Picture
- Comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner and M35 Open Starcluster
- Planets Saturn, Mars and Jupiter with GRS
- The Russian Space Shuttle Buran in Germany
- The Quit Sun with SolarMax3 DS and an unique circumscribed Halo
- Pictures of M45 Pleiades and M31 Andromeda Galaxy


Beginning of 2018 I successfully completed a workshop Nighscapes and took the time to make some startrails.

A couple of Comets crossed the sky with 21P Giacobine-Zinner "close" to M35 :


The planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturnus 





The Sun was quit in 2018 but I could make some nice picture with my new SolarMax3 Double Stacked and of course some halo's :
