Cannot see the comet-did i capture it?

[TinaP]

Hi all,

I was lucky enough to see PanSTARRS with binoculares recently and also took o a number of images with my DSLR. Sadly although the pictures are of the right area of sky it seems I didget everything else wrong, as I cannot see the comet on any of them. Is there any chance using some processing, to bring it out?

As you probably have guessed, I do not know anything about this subject, so help greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tina

What exposure time/aperture did you use?

Trying loading the image into photoshop or similar and try to stretch the darker colours to try to see if there is anything there.

It is fairly faint so would require an exposure longer than for just the sky. Why don't you post one of the images so that we can all have a look for you?

Hi, thanks for the replies. Will try and look into it, but sadly have been too busy with work recently to get any real time.

Thanks again, Tina
