Comet ISON Nov 4

Sick of ISON yet?

I tried every trick I could think of but DSS just won't track on it. So I gave up and used registax instead.

Dawn is getting earlier and the comet is heading for trees so I won't have it much longer by the looks of it. Anyway... details: SW120mm f5 refractor unfiltered, Pentax K-x, 15x1 minute subs at ISO 800. And the HEQ5 pro goto is back in business. Yay. The EQ2 was not fun!

Very nice! :)
Im only new to DSS but you can hold shift (i think its shift) and position the comet crosshairs anywhere you like?

Hey your right. I tried everything but that. Thanks!

WOW Kevin :thumbsup: That has to be one of the best Ison's I've seen yet :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice tight star trails, well done.

Thanks Jo. Registax does a better stack and track than me manually in PS. ;)

Hi Kevin,

That's the best dlslr image of Ison so far!:thumbsup:

It's a real challenge with the limited window we have.

Cheers,

Justin.
