Lostock Comet McNaught "up close" Meade DSI

[gerry aarts]

Hi All,

A sequenced collage of three comet McNaught images. The image on left is a 15 second exposure at 9.05pm. The centre "touchdown" image is a 30 second exposure at 9.11 pm. The image on the right is a 1.24 minute exposure at 9.20 pm. The images have not been post processed or enhanced in any way (stiching excluded). The trees give a good perspective as to the size of the comet nucleus and tail. The Meade DSIc was attached to a 28mil Pentax lense with a Mogg Adapter and set on a camera tripod.

Regards
Gerry Aarts

That certainly does put the comet size into perspective. Very very nice take on the comet, Gerry :thumbsup:

Nice one Gerry, was wondering how the DSI would go! Lovely shots.

Great to meet you at IISAC, too.. btw did you lose a laptop case? Someone lost one, and it has one of your articles in it.
