Darkness Became Light! ... A Quantum Leap in 36 x 24mm at 61.1MP?
In recent years, color cameras have become increasingly popular. A reversal of the trend is not to be expected. One reason for this is the ability to capture weak structures in deep-sky objects even with moderate exposure times. D...

THE STORY: Veil Nebula and Planewave CDK14 – it can be so easy
The "Veil Nebula" NGC 6960 is a remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred 8000 to 10,000 years ago. With a length of over one degree it is huge - and the Cygnus loop, to which the Veil Nebula belongs, is even larger at around 2...

Many support requests that reach me via Baader Planetarium are related to the increasing use of USB – no matter whether mounts or cameras are connected, the old connections (RS-232, FireWire...) have largely been replaced by USB. The USB connection has made a triumphal march around the world, a...
