Comet PANSTARRS 12th Feb Brisbane

[von Tom]

Here's Comet PANSTARRS in the southeast this morning. 100% crop stack and a wide field. Both with EOS 600D at 200mm.

Cheers,

Tom

Wow! Looks great.

How long was the exposure? Tracked or on a tripod?

Is it visible naked eye?

[von Tom]

Thanks Mike,
The wide field is a single exposure 10sec f/3.5 on a Vixen Polarie, processed in DPP.
The crop is about 6 minutes of 10sec exposures, same settings, stacked in Registax.

I couldn't see it with the naked eye but I didn't look too hard.

Cheers, Tom

[Curt]

Good stuff!

[von Tom]

Thanks Larry and Curt :) Here's a more stretched image from 100 frames showing a longer tail. Cloud passed through during the exposures.

Ripper Tom, Great shot. I will try in the morning up here but not much hope with the weather.

Great work Tom. the weather is killing things off down south of you, its getting to the stage where we might miss it. your shots are certainly a treat
