Dear All
I took some images of comet Boattini last night just as the moon was rising. It certainly now has an ion tale but it is pretty dim on the images.
The image is a stack of 16 x 150 sec exposures with my 40D through my vixen VC200L. Image size is about 1deg wide. Guided with guidemaster.
I tried a 300sec exposure but the comet moves too fast for this and it trailed too much.
The 2 images are just different stretches of the same pic. To show the tail going to the left I have to brighten the sky and make it far from black.
Now to see the tail visually.
