Another Comet 41P! - 700D and nifty fifty

[CraigT82]

Here's my first attempt at comet imaging, Comet 41P Tuttle in the bowl of Ursa Major.

Shot with a Canon 700d and 50mm f/1.8 (set to f/2.8) on a star adventurer.  Originally intended to shoot with a 135mm Takumar but it was too windy for that so went with the 50mm instead.

30x60 sec lights ISO 1600

no darks, 20 flats and 20 bias.

Stacked in DSS and post proc in photoshop.

Thanks for looking.

Wow, very nice capture! amazing what you can get with a 50mm lens.

Very nice shot. Well done! Been looking for this visually and not seen it, n ow I know why as it is very small with hardly any coma, and definitely no tail.

Good composition and impression, precisely the spot where I got to observe this on Saturday night.

The lens has done really well wide open great capture. As you took bias files you should read the post I did a few days ago with example of using a matter bias as a dark and a master dark flat.

Surprisingly big isn't it?

Great star field.
