City Views #300: Neighbourhood 7

8.12.2014 von Guido · Category: City Views, Mülheim


I was looking for something significant for the 300th photo of the City Views series, but then I decided to just continue with the current selection. This brings us to this familiar view of the house on the intersection of Mülheim’s Kämpchenstrasse and Paul-Essers-Strasse, which I have posted before – but this is a new photo taken with the new camera last month in a wide angle I could not do before in a single image. Look on the left side of the house for the year it was built!

Jupiter and Moons – December 2014 Edition

8.12.2014 von Guido · Category: Astronomy, Blog, Planets


I did this once before in January with the old camera to answer the question if it’s possible to pick up Jupiter’s moons – and yes, it works. This new capture with the SX1 from yesterday shows all four Galilean moons, from bottom left to top right, Europa, Io, Ganymede and, very faint, Callisto. There are, of course, no surface details on Jupiter visible and the size of the planet is blown up too much because I had to overexpose the image to get the moons to show up, but it’s still amazing to see that the camera can pick up objects with magnitudes between 5 and 6!
