Comet Lulin from Sunshine Coast 24th Feb

Hi,

I tried to use my Phillips ToUcam to guide on the core of the comet but with only 1/25th could not bring up enough light. Single 5 minute shot through W/O 110 with some processing in PS.

Good one Mark! I also tried with the toucam but could see nothing even with the gain turned right up. Wonder if you could with something like a Orion Autoguider?
cheers Gary

Good one Mark. I didn't even bother with the high cloud around. I found I needed about 2 sec on the DMK when I autoguided on the comet the other week. But being naked eye I would have thought the ToUcam would have picked it up. :shrug:

Nice shot Mark, and interesting thread about guiding on the comet. Was wondering same thing about Orion guider - my basic webcam certainly couldn't show it.

Nicely done, it would've been better to rotate the camera to pick up more of the tail?

Great job.

pity you couldnt get the webcam to work, great shot though
