Lulin animation at 250mm

Hey all,

Here's a 108 min time-lapse of Lulin from Feb 27th. Done on a 450D with 55-250mm kit lens (@250mm, f/5.6) mounted directly on a dumb (tracking-only) EQ6. Each frame was 25 secs in duration at ISO 800 with in-camera noise reduction. I want to buy a carton of beer for the author of the Canon EOS utility - saved me so much time in automation!

Instead of cropping each frame by hand, I wrote some MATLAB code to register and automatically crop the area of interest, so that was quite a learning experience in terms of image processing and as much fun as actually capturing the photons!

Enjoy!
