Comet capture??
Hi all,
It was Territory day last night, and I was out with the camera (scope was left inside as it wasn't great seeing). At about 2300, I saw some cloud patterns that were interesting so I turned the camera skyward. I noticed an artefact in the first crappy image, (slightly off focus) and thought was is that? I pulled the camera out of the tripod and had a look. Replaced it and re-set the image, took it again, same artefact. Upon looking deeper, I think it is a comet, C/2015 V2 Johnson. It is in about the correct location in the sky, according to southern comets. This is my first ever comet, and it is also a chance shot, but certainly won't be my last attempt.
Bare in mind these are not planned and are quick and dirty. Shrunk to size with LR.
Thoughts??? Am I right?
Cheers
J
