Northern Lights in SwitzerlandOn May 10, 2024, the Northern Lights were visible in Switzerland due to a G4+ geomagnetic solar storm hitting Earth. This spectacular event, usually confined to higher latitudes, graced Swiss skies. The timelapse was created using a Nikon Z8 on a tripod with a Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8S attached.
Variation in apparent lunar diameterThe moon's orbit around the Earth is slightly elliptical. As a result, the distance between the moon and Earth varies throughout the month and the year and thus the apparent size of the moon changes. But by how much? The animation shows the moon in both extremes (on September 13, 2019 and on April 7, 2020). Images taken through an 8-inch f/5 ONTC Newtonian reflector. 1.15x TeleVue Paracorr coma corrector & Nikon D7500.
Bitsch Forest FireOn July 17, 2023, a forest fire started in the municipality of Bitsch in the canton of Valais. The timelapse shows the fire as seen from the neighboring Riederalp in the night of July 17 / 18, 2023. The timelapse was created using a Nikon Z6II on a tripod with a Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8S attached.
