ISON from Leyburn 03/10/13

[RobF]

At the end of an all nighter I remembered to have a try for ISON before shutting up shop. It was only just grazing up out of trees exactly on astronomical twilight, so after a few aborted attempts at guiding this was a single 100 sec image guided on a nearby star just as the sky was lighting slightly.

Pardon the dodgey processing and framing - bedding down a new imaging laptop and don't have much in the way of software loaded yet - this is a screen capture from the zoomed and stretched image in Maxim.

QHY9 through FSQ106ED @ F3.7 (single 100sec luminence image, unbinned)
