Comet ISON, Brisbane, 8th Nov

[von Tom]

At 13 degrees elevation 3:33am local Brisbane time, with astronomical twilight starting 7 minutes earlier, Comet ISON is not proving an easy object to image.
100% crop of stack of 15x 30sec exposures, 200mm f/2.8, Canon EOS 600D ISO 6400.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

Wow Tom, you’ve really had to dig this one out of the horizon – what dedication! The tail is quite distinct given the crud you’d have been shooting through.

Cheers

Good shot, Tom

Good shooting. The elevation is getting more difficult every day now.

Hi Tom,

You took the photo without the telescope?

Fantastic Tom :thumbsup: I had a go with the scope, but twilight won the race. Might try the Lens also, F2.8 could be advantages to the slower f/rat of the scope, tomoro would be very last chance and cloud is approaching fast :rolleyes: Cheers for the post, I'd be very happy with that. Job well done :thumbsup:
