Three views of Comet Hartley post flyby

I took these this morning before work.

Shot 1 is 1524mm FL with the homecooled DSI II Pro and 12" Newt.
CCD temp was 10C, ambient 15C. Aligned on the Comet.

Shot 2 is same setup, aligned on stars. Rejected frames in these stacks show as gaps in the stars.

Shot 3 is a DSLR shot, piggybacked to the Newt, looking through the
dome slot.

Edit: and a link to an animation thanks to Iceman (~10mb)
