Title: Comet Lulin 23 Feb 09
Post by: A.S.I.G.N_Baz on Feb 24, 2009, 10:41:35
I shot ten images of one minute each last night.

Because Lulin moved so much across the ten, I could only combine stack three of them without elongation.

Tonight I will have a go at three minute exposures to put together a little animation (clouds permitting)

Baz.

Mac, right now any sky would do - I'm certainly not going to be fussy about it being dark (though that would be nice!)

Nice Lulin, Baz.  I didn't realize it was that bright.
