Lovejoy with 200mm lens

[prokyon]

Hi folks!

Thursday I get up at 4 o clock in the morning for capturing Lovejoy. Done with Canon 200 lens and Canon 5D MkII. 53x60s

Great tail:

Processing was very difficult! PixInsight did not work because I have only a 32bit computer and so the 5D pics are too big. Good old DeepSkyStacke helped.

Very cool!  I definitely prefer the reprocessed image but both are excellent.  I would be happy with something half that good.

well worth the effort :-)

Pixinsight and astroart struggle with large raw files, you should convert them in pixinsight to .fits first.

Great image
