Collage of past comets
It's raining and I'm bored so thought I'd put together a couple of collages of past comets.
This one from comet T7 Linear during April/May 2004. A beautiful morning comet with long slender tail. A beautiful sight visually as well. Not so spectacular when it swung around into the evening sky though.
From the Mintron video camera again. Most using a 135mm lens were taken with a barn door and fingers turning a screw for tracking!
Line1 frame1 April 19 2004 135mm f2.5 lens. Frame2 April 21 135mm f2.5 lens. Frame3 April 22 135mm f2.5 lens.
Line2 frame1 April 29 50mm lens. Frame2 April 29 135mm lens. Frame3 April 27 135mm lens.
Line3 frame1 May 11 200mm lens. Frame2 May 13 4inch f6 refractor. Frame3 May 14 135mm lens just above the trees before dawn.
And finally a single colour shot on Fuji 800 with a 400mm f4.5 lens showing the long wavy tail.
A comet to remember for sure.
