Lovejoy timelaps

[marco]

Hi all, I had a chance to assemble a quick time lapse of comet lovejoy from 9 frames I took the morning of last December 29 with my Tec140 from Coonabarabran. Each frame is a 2 mins luminance tracked on the comet fast proper motion. I still have to understand how to proper make time lapses (I used PS for this) so I have uploaded the movie on a temporary folder for the moment, possibly will move it to my main website later on :shrug:.
Here is the link:

It is interesting to see as the comet has almost no core. Total 9 frames from 04:10 am.

Hope you will like it

Good timelapse:):)

Can you make the vid a tad smaller though. Mightn't fit everyone's screen.

Excellent work Marco!

Very cool sequence Marco. You're right it doesn't look like it's got any nucleus or maybe it's very small. How come the tail spans for such a long area though. Could it be that the stuff that got sling shot around the sun is just debris being blown away fast? :question:
