Hi all,
Here is my set from far western NSW on the night of the 25th Jan,
from Mad Max country
Proving dark skies are king for comets !!
I'm amazed by the tail structure I captured. Better than anything I've got from Adelaide so far.
The 1st pic is a 30 sec set x 27 frames. That's the horizon at bottom left.
QHY8 cooled camera / HEQ5 / NIKON nifty 50 @ f/2.8
2nd pic is a 60 sec set x 10 frames, stacked. in negative.
3rd pic of sunset. Trap is set. Waiting.....
4th pic. A single 60 sec frame, debayered/ extremely stretched, showing the satellites!
So many! I tend to forget how stacking makes these disappear, which is mostly a good thing for us!
PS: nice meeting you Chris , if you see this. Great chat
