Comet Garradd and M92

[Mike Hawtin]

Couple of firsts for me in this image, first attempts at processing using pixinsight and first image with my Ikharos 102ED/Televue reducer-corrector. The Televue works very nicely with my 60mm triplet but is much less happy on the Ikharos. Anyway here it is stretched to breaking point to bring out the tails. Constructive criticism very welcome. 12x300s subs with QHY8.

Oh that's a neat shot Mike, when did you take this one?

Great pairing

[Mike Hawtin]

Thanks Tim, yesterday morning from my balcony! First time I have ever posted an image and all I can see are the defects!!!

Great image Mike, wanted to get this myself but too low from my location.

They look really good together. Do you know which tail is from the solar wind?

[Mike Hawtin]

Thank you all for the kind comments, I was pretty pleased with the final result myself.

Ken, the tail from the Solar wind is the ion tail which is the faint vaguely bluish one to the left of the nucleus.

Lovely image. I like the difference in colour between the dust and plasma tails, subtle though it is.
