Astro Pictures

 


I am afraid you won't really find first class astro pictures here.
Nevertheless I hope you will have as much fun watching these photographs, as I had while taking and processing them.

 

Please make sure that the brightness of your monitor is properly adjusted.

You should be able to see all shades of grey in the 17 section step wedge above.

Some people asked me, whether I am a relative to Thomas Bopp, who detected the comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1) in 1995. No - I am not.
