This was part of a all night session that started at 7PM and involved some video astronomy, some visual and some AP/
This is my first crack at a comet so I am pretty pleased at the result.
This is only a handful of subs so there was plenty of noise and I had to cut back the stretching so as not to further exacerbate the noise during post processing.
I was pushing the stretching to keep the little bit of the tail I managed to capture.
And here it is.
Well Buckaroo, you did proud with this comet! I take it the faint luminosity from the blue orb moving toward 11:30 +/- is the tail? Anyway, darned nice capture!
ReplyDeleteYes Bob it is indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt is actually a little longer if I stretch the image further but then so much noise comes into it's hard to fix that!
