First Image…

Oh well, after much fiddling with the camera and especially with the pointing of the mount (still far from perfect) I got this image. It’s out of focus, and I have to remove one extension ring to get in focus, but at least I know I can see something

Dome ready, telescope not

Lukas — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:34:42 +0000

It’s always like that: Everything is ready, but the weather is not. Quite some snowfall and high winds these days, so no observing was possible. In addition, I miscalculated the backfocus of my GSO RC 12″ (it is a whoppin’ 28cm!), so I still have to wait for some more spacers to get in focus …

Dome nearly complete

Lukas — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:20:43 +0000

After a good month of work, and a few more months of waiting for all the equipment, my new dome is nearly complete. I only had to send in my focuser from Moonlite as it was not working. For the rest, I am quite happy now with the dome (from ScopeDome, the 3 meter version). …

New York, New York

Caribbean

You know, sometimes I feel like Capt’n Jack Sparrow, walking around a pristine white beach with a bottle of Rhum in one hand and a biiiiig smiley on the face. So what about going to the Caribbean and well… You know… Try to do it the same way? How to get there From Germany there …

Alright folks, we are again planning a new trip. This time we want to get to Japan to see some friends of Evelyn and actually see some cities and do some hikes. Planned cities would be so far Tokio, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Osaka. We still have to see which mountains we should have a look …

Restyling and re-directing

Lukas — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 15:18:26 +0000

Allright folks, this time I’ve changed my blog in a travel and photo blog. As most of my comments nowadays land in Facebook, I’ll keep a list of travel-related posts here, together with my girlfriend. Ah and next trip will be: New York City!

New Website

Lukas — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:59:23 +0000

Alright… after years of no-blogging (duh!), I managed to get the time for a update at the WordPress installation. I will shortly also switch the whole site to WordPress, but it will take some time to get all the photos and stuff on again. Anyhow, I’ll also try o connect this stuff to Facebook (it …
