I compressed 70 mins into 53 seconds!

Filmed with a gstar-ex and an 80mm Zenithstar, alt-az (atop my dob) hence the field rotation.

I must try with an equatorial mount and guide on the comet itself ...

Wow. It's really hookin' along isn't it?

What is the other object that flies through the FOV?

Barry,

The object that shoots through about half way through looks like the ISS, if you pause just as it passes Lulin, you can see the solar panels.

Nice Work on the video AJ. Well done!

Cheers

Chris

OMG ! it is the ISS

that is awsome !
Hey Astrojunk, if you can enhance that segment to show the ISS in a bit more detail, you have a winning spaceweather.com shot there I recon !
In anycase well done

Thanks all, I hope I get another chance to do the job beter before it's too late, but the Brisbane clouds have set in again...

I wish that that was ISS, but it was way too faint and slow moving - the stretching is just a relic of the long exposure unfortunately.
