Chamäleon- Onjala und Rooisand
Observatory Wolfgang Paech + Franz
Hofmann |
On this page we show an
overview of our DeepSky imaging, which we have taken at above named
observatories in Namibia. Most of the images was taken between the years 2013
and 2016. A small number of images was taken at Rooisand Observatory between
the years 2004 and 2011. These images are marked with a little red square

All imgaes will be open in a seperate browser window,
just click the thumbnail to load a higher resolution image. Also image data can
be seen.
The following
telescopes was used for image acquisition: |
|
|
|
- TEC 110mm -
f/5.6
- Pentax SDP 105mm -
f/6.3
- Zeiss APQ 130mm -
f/7.7
- Astro Physics EDFS 130mm -
f/6
- Zeiss APQ 150mm -
f/8
- PlaneWave 12.5" Astrograph -
f/6.8
- PlaneWave 17" Astrograph -
f/6.8
- Celestron 11 Hyperstar -
f/2
- Celestron C 14 -
f/11

|
Partly we
was using focal reducers and/or lenses for field flattening. For image
acquisition we was using several Canon EOS DSLR cameras (normal and astro
modified/cooled) and CCD modules from SBIG and QHY. The images above show from
left to right: Onjala,- Chamäleon- und Rooisand
