Date: 3/6/06
Equipment: Canon 300d (modified)
Canon 75-300 zoom lens working at 135mm
Losmandy G11 Gemini mount.
Celestron guidescope
Exposure: 4 individual frames of 5 minutes each. f/7 ISO 800.
Processing: ImagesPlus (conversion and digital development), Photoshop (levels and saturation), Imageready (animation)
Notes: This comet was moving very quickly.  This animation shows the comet's movement over a 20 minute timeframe.  I had intended to stack the frames, but the comet moved too much to be used for stacking.  This animation is cropped slightly from the full frames shot at 135mm.
