Vaonis Vespera Pro - Photo Gallery (NGC and More...)

Introduction | Photos (NGC and More...) | Links

On the gallery pages, I present my so far "best" photos taken with my Vaonis Vespera Pro (at the moment, most of the time all of them...). This page shows DSO that are included in the NGC Catalog and more.

Note: As I sold my Vespera in June 2024, no more new photos will be added.

Introduction

On this page I would like to present my "best" photos of NGC sky objects and more taken with my Vaonis Vespera Pro. As hopefully new celestial objects and maybe better photos of the objects will be added in the future, this page will be a "work in progress".

Note: The frames were exposed with 10 seconds unless noted otherwise.
