Lemmon & Panstarrs Feb28 Wow!!

[tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook)]

Hi,

A small window between sunset and moon rise, well worth the effort!

Panstarrs is brilliant!! Viewed it through the 80mm finder, then with the unaided eye.
The head of panstarrs looks a little strange even visually, wonder whether it's becoming disrupted??

(Left) The single 1 minute sub at iso 800 40mm f/5, canon 1100D on trcking mount.
(Right) 7 x 1 minute subs, iso 800 and 1600, stacked in DSS processed in PS7.

Cheers,

Justin.

Yes I can feel the hate, but that will teach you for pinching all the rain.

Cheers,

You must be the Envy of every Southern Hemisphere Astro-liano ? I chalk another one up for You This is another great Capture champ ! !

We, SE Qld should see some clear sky soon, approx a week I so hope, if so, Panstarrs will unfortunately have sunk fast into dangerous twilight :| But Lemmon will be still the 'Go' !

Dig them two tails pointing same direction, great Compo

Nice work Justin, I thought about doing a widefield tonight, but couldn't bring myself to take the 80mm scope off the mount

Thanks Andrew!

Glad you did'nt, it's good to have the different perspectives. I'm going to image Panstarrs, with the 8" astrograph friday.

Cheers,

Justin.
