| Equipment: |
Orion 80ED refractor.
Losmandy G11 Gemini mount.
SBIG ST-4 autoguider
Celestron guidescope |
| Exposure: |
5 individual shots. Each was 15 minutes on hypered tech pan with the exception
of the fourth shot which was cut short at 10 minutes due to a guiding problem. Guiding was
done on the head of the comet. |
| Processing: |
Each image was scanned with the scanner settings locked for consistency. Images
were manually aligned and registered in Photoshop. Curves adjusted in
Photoshop. Animation was created using Adobe ImageReady. |
| Notes: |
Shot the first night of the Texas Star Party 2004.
Because of the shorter exposure for the fourth image and an additional slight delay in
shooting the fifth exposure, the animation is not as smooth as I had hoped. Still
pretty cool though. |
