The Dolphin Head Nebula was formed 70,000 years ago from the fast stellar winds of a Wolf-Rayet star (EZ Canis Majoris). This stellar wind was caused by the star ejecting its outer layers. It is approximately 4,500 – 5,200 light-years away. It is located in the constellation Canis Major.

I captured over three nights (02/17/2026, 02/18/2026, 02/19/2026) at the Winter Star Party on Scout Key, FL. My total integration time is 8.6 hours. This object is predominantly an Oiii object.

White-headed stork/Weißkopfstorch

Reproduction
This year, the white storks arrived in the nature reserve in the neighboring village in February and are already busy building their nests. They are also taking care of their offspring.

Fortpflanzung
Dieses Jahr sind die Weißstörche im Februar in das Naturschutzgebiet im Nachbarort gekommen und bauen schon fleißig am Nestbau. Parallel wird auch für den Nachwuchs gesorgt.

Tz 708

Am 02.11.2025 passierte Tz 708 Hürth-Kalscheuren in Richtung Süden. So richtig gewöhnlich ist die Baureihe auf der Linken Rheinstrecke nicht. An dem Tag war der Grund von seinem Erscheinen dort sein Einsatz als Ersatzzug 2935 für den ICE 229 nach Frankfurt (M).
