Comet Again

[Derek Klepp]

These are basically straight out of the camera .Wider field 28-70 zoom at 47mm(slightly cropped)4s iso 3200.The closer shots a 200mm lens 2s iso 6400.I was amazed at the tail length but disheartened by all the satellites waiting in several instances for them to pass through the field.

Nice photo:thumbsup:


Just wonder if include the foreground, do you have to stack the photo? I always want to take some photos like this. Thanks in advance.

Lovely scenic images of the comet, very well composed. The satellites, mostly Starlink I presume, are a curse that we, as imagers of the early evening, early morning skies have to contend with. Thank you Mr Musk.

Thanks guys yes gotta love Elong.David I don’t stack my pics but would do if I was going to print a large print A3+ or bigger. Generally I stop the lens down and focus about a third of the way in with wider angle lenses.In low light the out of focus areas often give a painting type look which I don’t mind.

My 200mm effort Derek, rather similar but I havent stretched far because dam gradients too overpowering :doh: :lol:
