Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner 10/8/18 (First Comet)

[Grimbles]

 

Hi Everyone

I was out Friday night sorting out the DSO set up collimation etc, 150PDS, modded 450d and thought I would have a quick go at 21P.

The first image is a single 60sec frame tweaked in photoshop.

The second is a DSS stack of 15 x 60 sec frames and tweak in photoshop.

The third is a 15 frame .gif again created in photoshop, the stars jump around a little as i was dithering via BYEOS and PHD2. The gif file size is larger than i would like but I can't reduce it at the moment as PS is now giving me an unknown error when I try to export. Yet another problem to sort out.

Thanks

Martin

Nice work. Just did a gift myself on 21P/G-Z with 9x 30sec exposures.

Great set of images. Need the weather to break so I can get out and see this.
