Observatories

 
Eclipses or occultations, deep sky or comets. Some of you can remember to the celestial specials in the past. The images which are show below are results of our astrophotography by using professional and amateur equipment. The locations are reaching from global situated points to our favorit home places (mostly Bavaria) and regional observatories. I try to update this site with the actual ongoings as far as observations are able.
