Quick C2017 T2 Panstarrs

[Star101]

Managed 6 x 1 minute subs before rain stopped play.

C11 with focal reducer. Atik 4120EX OSC processed in PixInsight.

Not the best and I know some of you can do better. The tail is there, just needs more time to bring it out. See Inverted Lum.

Good catch, solid cloud here but no rain yet.

Nice capture, but curious why it’s posted under solar? Geof

Thanks Davey-T. I wish I had remembered it sooner. Could have spent a few hours on this. Maybe tomorrow if its clear I will give it a better shot

Thanks Geof.

Yeah, I should have put it in Special Events. Could Mods move it please!

Tried again last night for about an hour. I used the ZWO183mm as guide cam....Not as easy as I expected. Lodestar X2, I think, would have been a better choice. Very difficult to get PHD2 to show much detail with the ZWO camera. Maybe I should have used Darks Library!

Anyhow, I cut the GIF down as the original is 300Meg. This one is 33Meg, if it allows me to upload

I should have said that the GIF image was created using GIMP.

Nice one, whizzing along, meant to have another go at it last night but got side tracked.
