Had a bit of a break from imaging since early November, mainly because I have run out of targets I can do in narrowband from my home location. I don;t want to keep repeating stuff I have done before unless I thinkl I can do them better or can present them in a different way.
Added that that haven't felt like braving the cold weather unless there was something I was desperate to do - which there wasn't. All the targets I am desperate to do need dark skies, and being at a campsite at the right time of year.
Anyway the comet got me out of my doldrums and I got out a few days ago to image it.
Not brilliant, and expecting a more defined tail I guess was expecting a bit much from the London Suburbs, PLUS I FINALLY FOUND A DECENT TUTORIAL ON HOW TO TO COMET STACKING IN DSS - yay.
I had heard it was moving fast, so decided on a dual rig with DSLR for colour and Lum with a mono camera.
100 x 30secs DSLR Canon 1100D
24 x 2 mins Lum with Atik460EX on ED72.
Total imaging time around 1 1/2 hours
