Hi All,
I was testing out the Atik on the ED80 on the 18/1/13 and decided to see if I could get any pics of Comet Linear.
There were some wispy clouds on ruining some of the shots, but I successfully stacked them using Comet and Stars mode on DSS and then decided to create an animation, just for fun. You can certainly see the differences on each sub and it seems I may not have had the cooling on......D'oh! as there was noise and hot pixels on the subs.
VERY faint, about Mag 12.5 on Stellarium, these are 15 x 3 min subs taken between 12:40am and 1:30am on the morning of the 18.1.13 AEST.
I reduced the native 1300 x 1000 resolution to 640 x 480 for the animation to keep the file size down. (1.8Mb)
This little sucker moves pretty fast
Animation is
here, I have attached a JPG of the stacked shot.
You may have to download the file to make it animate.
Enjoy.
Cheers
Chris
