A comparison between B4 & B7 on ZTF Comet imaging
After shooting ZTF from home (Padstow B7 skies) on Friday evening I pulled everything apart and headed south-west just out of Sydney (near Wilton B4 skies). I knew it would be better being much darker, but the difference in the subs was ridiculous!! I did a quick comparison of a single 60sec sub (identical gear and comet elevation) and you can see for yourself (no editing and identical stretch). I'm seriously considering that this may be something I need to do more of for my broadband shooting going forward.
Anyways, because everyone loves comets so much now, I've also added the final version with 1hr of subs processed in APP that I combined in GIMP with a single shot for the star field.
Also a single sub with Mars in the pic (only took a single one cause Hyperstar + bright stars = insane reflections and wasn't really worth proceeding).
