Dr. Gerold Holtkamp, September 7, 2022 Over the Westhavelland Star Park you can find obne of the darkest skies in Germany. This reputation was confirmed again this year at the 11th Westhavelländer Astrotreff (26th to 30th August 2022). At this meeting, astronomers from all over Germany come together to observe and exchange ideas together. Here I present my "yield". Thanks to the dark and cloudless sky in Gülpe, where you camp on an old sports field, I was able to photograph several objects.
