Astrophotography enables a completely different view of the sky than we can achieve with the eye or the telescope. Due to the long exposure times, details in objects can be shown that until a few years ago could only be reached at the largest telescopes. Even the light pollution of cities can be avoided by using special filters.

On this page we present the possibilities of this fascinating technique. Most of the pictures were taken at the University of Oldenburg or in the immediate vicinity. Please refer to the image description for the techniques used.

With automatic telescopes, images of current observation objects can also be created in a short time. Here you will find a short description and processed images.
