Brightest (and Fastest!)Comet in the Sky

Posted By dan kowall
Way cool as always, Dennis.
Do you know how fast the comet is traveling, as in km/hr?

I don't know what you consider low cost, but Registar and CCDStack excel at alignment.

Prawn Nebula - HaRGB

Jim,
That's an excellent result for an object so low on the horizon. One would expect the blue channel to show extinction problems, but your color looks good.
The ability to image through the meridian is one of the first things I look for in a mount. You're really going to enjoy that feature.

NGC281

That's a great start, Jason.
It looks a bit dark on my monitor. You could stretch it to reveal more of the low end, I believe.
How did the Vixen handle the weight of the STL?

It's good to see NGC 6207 take center stage in an image, Dietmar.
Wonderful processing on this one.

Nice work, Vince. Even the large size looks good.
You might want to check your exposure times--120 total hours?
I didn't realize that a Traveler could cover an STL11000, even with a flattener.
My regards,

Very nice, Jim. That's a good field of view for this object.
Perhaps the distortion that Eric saw means that you have to tweak your focal reducer distance?
I'm glad to see that someone is getting clear skies.
My regards,

First shot with my new DSI II Pro camera

Posted By dan kowall
Wow, Floyd, your focusing and processing are much better.
What technique did you use to focus these?
