News and Updates
have now their own 
The latest news right here:
(2013.04.06) The comet C/2011 L4 PanSTARRS led until now to eight new images at the comets page. There is also an update of the links page.
(2013.04.06) Always due to actual causes I'll address the light pollution theme at this page not only from astronomical reasons. Birds, insects and non astronomical interested people are affected too. Not just astronomical observers have a right for dark sky! More links about this theme at the links page. There is a new petition on behalf of this theme since March 2013. It supports the ban of skybeamer, representing a special intense and perfidious kind of light pollution. Here the link to this petition. Because this theme is generally actual and important here a few additional informations:
The following four small images taken in January 2012 and 2007 as in winter 2005 from Mt. Wendelstein summit are showing drastically the affection caused by light pollution. The first two pictures are proving the increase of the immense light pollution within a few years. It is caused by skiing in the Inn valley, as well at this side as on the other side of the border. Cloudy sky increases the dramatic effect of the massive diffused light drastically. Both other images have been shot at the same evening from the same place with identical camera settings. The image at right has been taken after shutdown of the grand illumination later that night and proves the distortion by the light pollution:
And here an additional link matching this theme: Light pollution map of Germany .
