Comet Lulin

[gary1968]

The sky was clear here tonight for the 1st time in what seems like ages..........

So, I had a go aat imaging Lulin, this is a stack of 18 x 30secs frames taken with a Celestron ED80 and a SC1 Toucam and Atik 0.5x reducer.

Not sure about it so feel free to comment as you see fit guys.

Are you processing the frames in DSS now?

If you are have a look at this thread and try the comet stacking options

I ws not really sure what it looked like as through the ep it was a very faint fuzzy so I was surprised to get as bright an image as I did.

Yes Billy I am using DSS now and a bit of processing in gimp. I will take a look at that thread tonight billy.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
