Hergenrother for an hour

[BlueAstra (Graham)]

Ok, joining the comet Hergenrother bandwagon! After an imaging run on Friday night I decided to have a look. This is 18 x 90s exposures, taken over about an hour, processed as an animation in PS. No calibration at all, just a curves and levels boost (as an action with batch processing - scary new skill). Thanks for looking.

classy! like animations like that - it is really scooting along

Cool Graham. I split your GIF into individual frames, used Nebulosity to align them (on the background stars) as individual images, and rebuilt the GIF from those aligned images. I seem to have lost the battle with GIMP to tidy up the edges. My version is here. I think you have to "view original" to get the animation.

Looks a lot better without wobbly stars! Will have a go at that myself.

Awesome, now I really want to drag out the 18" scope for a look !

I like the wobbly stars, it gives it that old movie reel look. Cool animation
