Post Your Comet Pictures
- Thread starter East Wind Photography
- Start date
I hope so. Should still have a few good days before needing the telescope, at least I hope so.
thanks atosk930. Eastwind I really like the moon solo and in #2 Uranus is the dot to the lower right of panstars.
I plan to work on the comet tonight. What was the southern comet a few years back that had a tail like 10 deg long?
would be great if ISON would be like that.

could not take a picture.
Great shots guys. I now see why I am having a hard time seeing the comet where I live. The mountains are about a mile higher than where I am at. I need to get to the top of them.

Nice!
For some reason, I'm unable to post my picture.
However...the one I did a rough edit on was with the comet and the moon just barely above the horizon. Now that I know that I've probably captured Mars and Uranus in one of the earlier shots, I'll have to re-think my preliminary culling....
Cheers,

My recent post was heavily processed in Photoshop to bring out more comet and to emphasize the planets. I was so focused earlier on trying to bring out the comet that I forgot planets were in there too.

aparis99, I like your star trail picture...especially the way the blue-ish stars are well distinguished. However those are likely meteors in your picture, and definitely are not the comet. The comet will only be visible via much shorter exposure, as shown by those who posted shots.
One thing that is interesting to me, is how a lot of people assume the streaks they get in longer exposure pictures, are meteors...when very often, they are satellites (or in more obvious cases, airplanes).
The easiest way to tell, is if your exposure is longer than several minutes, an airplane or satellite's trail will be visible across the entire vield of view, where a meteor's will be shorter (and usually brighter at one end...sometimes with a curve). It also can show some squiggles to its line if it tumbles a bit.
