46P/Wirtanen 12/12/2018


Recommended Posts

This is my first attempt at a Comet taken Wednesday night with my Canon 450D and 135mm on star Adventurer. 120 30 second exposures at F2.8 ISO400, processed with Pixinsight. Conditions weren't very good, I couldn't see it with my 8x42's but had a good look with the 10" Dob whilst the camera was clicking away. The Comet looks as if it has a slight greeny blue hue on my PC monitor but much greener on the IPad. Anyway it was good fun.  Hope you like it :)

Really beautiful, especially given the light pollution evident from the other thread!

Thanks Magnus, I’ve stopped using a CLS filter because I found it too difficult processing star colours with it. PixInsight’s background neutralisation and DBE is a great help :)
