C/2012 F6 Lemmon, C/2011 K5 LINEAR plus animation.

Hi,

Here's some more comet images plus animation of C/2011 K5 LINEAR, for 3/1/2013.

First C/2011 K5 LINEAR animation, this comet is really moving and I was limited to 30 sec exposures at ISO 3200 to stop trailing. I decided to supply an animation, 31 sec run time, real time 18 minutes that includes timing intervals. I also used registax to stack on the comet, for a single image.

In that time it moved 3.8 arc minutes.

Animation. http://s1172.photobucket.com/albums/...rent=comet.mp4

C/2012 F6 Lemmon is a colourful comet, really putting on quite performance.

Again here's the link to Michael Mattiazzo's comet page for further info.

8" f/4 astrograph, orion mini guider, HEQ Pro 5 mount.

Unmodded canon 1100D baader coma corrector.

2 minute subs at iso 800, total 12 minutes, Median stack in DSS, processed in PS 7. For Comet Lemmon only.

Cheers,

Justin.
