Ibbo!

Last night I thought about 1 to 1-30 was the best. Though the NLC's and moon turned up by then.

I managed to get DSS comet stacker to work 😲 I found a spot above the local LED streetlamps, fortunately not much passing road traffic, the horses did come to see me once I parked up but decided they had a better view at the top of the field. Once I located Neowise it was hard to believe I missed it naked eye, though I must admit I did get distracted watching the bats. The tail was evident and at its best arround 1-30 UT The moon did play a part in washing it out later on but the NLC's had already done that. Give them a click or 3 for full res.

its got an impressive tail.

Ha with Lunt 60mm and D/S Chamelon cam Ed 80 reduced & Lunt 600 Cak bf do the clicky thing for full res.

Too many clouds

Ha with Lunt 60mm and D/S Chameleon cam 200 frames stacked do the clicky thing for full res. Slightly different process to bring out the prom at 9 o'clock

I agree. I will have time to try it again, that is if I don't get any pressing tasks from the other half.

Thanks. Yes thats what I have been using. It put the 9 panes together no bother.

Thanks for your comments. I have gathered a bit more data to expand the area but the software is struggling to join it properly. I am saying software but it is more likely poor data and will have to wait while the moon gets out of the way and the weather improves again before I can try again.

Photoshop magic. Using the eliptical Marquee tool set to the approx size of the sun disc I nudge it to fit and using the select to to increase or decrease by a pixel or 2 , then using curves the grab the white point and drag it to 0, select - inverse and colour to taste.

Thanks. I am positive it would be easier with one of the bigger chipped ccd's I have.🌞

The IC1318 image turned into a 9 pane mosaic of 5 x 300sec with the SX H9 and the 12nm ha filter plus the 27 x 300 I took the other day. Obtained using NINA stacked in APP and tweaked in PS Do the clicky thing for full res.

Several panes stitched in ICE taken with 7D and 500mm lens at 2 UT Behind the brick pillars are a couple of very annoying street lamps. Do the clicky thing but it is big even though its reduced to about 30% of original.

Looking forward to this one.

Thanks folks. This is the camera that keeps giving after 16 years, on and off still does the business.

Thanks for the heads up.

its going to turn into a mosaic. somehow I skipped a bit I got NINA running and here is 27 x 300 with the same cam but different 12 nm ha filter.

Very well done.

I started out trying to run run NINA and it failed to connect the ccd so I tried APT instead to make sure the old cam still worked and managed to grab just the 4 subs. Taken wih the TS 71 and the old SXH9 and the 7nm baader filter. I have since got NINA to connect so that is one for next time.

I have set phone alarm for this one.

Thank you for your help . It now connects and hopefully I can get it all to work .

Good set of images. Good luck with the new job.

Nice. Now I know what you mean about what a full disc Cak looks like 🌞
