Comet ISON 3rd November Brisbane

[von Tom (Tom)]

Comet ISON from suburban Brisbane this morning. *Just* visible in 9x63 binoculars. Comet Lovejoy was also visible and somewhat brighter.

Did you hand guide that through the Dob Tom?

Hi Ralph, no this was using the Canon EOS 600D and a 200mm lens at f/4, ISO 6400 on a Vixen Polarie. From about 30 exposures of 30 seconds stacked in Registax with manual alignment on the comet.

That makes better sense Tom. Didn't have the thinking cap on.
In that case jolly good show.
