Lemmon and PANSTARRS 28th Feb, 30s exp

[Astroman (Andrew Wall)]

Hi all,

Both images are single subs, still yet to do the finals. 30sec @ ISO 800 for PANSTARRS and ISO1600 for LEMMON. PANSTRRS is difficult being so close to the horizon. Also conditions were less than ideal, blowing a 10-15 knot wind most of the time... Will complete the set tomorrow. Only thing I did to the images was to desaturate for my personal use and resize in Infranview.

Both images using the same camera orientation. 80mm F450mm Refractor.

EDIT: included a close up of PANSTARRS in COLOUR!

Nice one Andrew. You aren't wrong about the difficulty of seeing PANSTARRS. I saw it through 7x50 binoculars but it was quite low to the horizon.

Nice going Andrew!

That's a good image of Panstarrs, showing the dust and ion tails.

Cheers,

Justin.
