Comet C/2022 E3 image from the 24th January


Recommended Posts

There were clouds about and the comet was still quite low in the sky but managed this photo, which consists of 2 2 minute subs stacked and processed through Siril. It's my first ever attempt at finding and photographing a comet, so I am pleased.

Thanks for looking

Hi, Thanks for the positive comment.

The scope is an SW Esprit 100 with flattener and Altair 26C camera. The capture software is Sharpcap with a gain of 300 and exposure time 120 seconds. It took about 30 subs and selected two adjacent subs that looked the cleanest and stacked them is Deep sky stacker using the comet stacking option (comet in focus, stars potentially out of focus). The stack output was put through Siril to remove background and then stretched.

Hope that helps

Ian
