Comet 46P wirtanen time-lapse 08-12-18

[Nigel G]

This second time-lapse is 4 hours of 120s subs. Taken with my Equinox 80ED and 1300D, some light cloud drifted through during the session which has made processing a challenge.

Software used... Canon digital photo pro, Star Tools & Timelapse tool.

Thanks for looking.

Nige.

Very nice indeed

I enjoy time lapses of comets though I'm thinking each frame has to be individually processed, I can see the scripting function in testing right now for StarTools could be very useful for batch work.

Excellent job Nigel, really smooth.

I have used PIPP which is free and it takes a lot of the work out of it.

 

Thats a fantastic animation above Nige.

Its a long process, I shortened it by batch crop and resize in digital photo pro, then each frame a quick wipe, develop & colour balance with Star tools, then back to DPP for batch noise reduction. Still took many hours  

A Star Tools batch process would be ultra helpful.

Nice job. Comets are ideal for time lapse, it looks great.

Nice one ?
