BACKYARD OBSERVATORY
I like the kind of people who get excited over the stars at night.
About me
My name is Yannick and I love space and photography. That's all you need to know at the moment. Maybe my images speak for themselves 😉
Backyard Observatory
Almost all of my images are captured from my backyard in Southern Germany.
I live under heavy light pollution (Bortle 6.5), so I almost always shoot in Narrowband only. My primary rig is mainly equipped with the following optics and accessories:

- Telescope: Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4
- Camera: QHY600M SBFL
- Mount: 10Micron GM1000 HPS
- Focal Reducer: 645RD QE0.72x Reducer
- Filter: Baader Ultra-Narrowband / Broadband Filters in 50,4mm
- Accessories: PrimaLuceLab Esatto 4″, Wanderer M92 Rotator, Wanderer Electronic Tilter, Pegasus Ultimate Power Box v2
Secondary Rig
The Rig I mainly use for very dim objects:
- Telescope: Celestron RASA 11"
- Camera: QHY268M
- Mount: iOptron CEM120

- Filter: Baader f/2 Ultra-Highspeed / Broadband Filters in 50x50mm

Astrophotography is an art
It’s about finding extra-ordinary
In an ordinary place
