Hi folks,
Firstly a big thankyou to Cometcatcher for sharing his knowledge and posting the guide to comet stacking and to Rat156 for raising the bar on technique to strive for with this subject. :thumbsup:
This is taken under dark skies in country Victoria, thanks to The Bluester for assistance throughout the night. :)
I really wanted to try this, but until saturday morning I had no real idea of what to do until I saw Cometcatcher's posting. This is my first attempt at comet stacking and merging/processing.
Crikey it wasn't easy guys, esp on the mac without sigma stacking available! :shrug:
Anyway, here is my result, thanks for looking. High res here...http://www.astrobin.com/full/117950/0/
14x60 secs for the comet, 10 x 120 secs for 47 tuc, darks, flats and a whole lot of PS in postproduction.
