Pages: 1 Raven911 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 03/12/05 Posts: 1899 Loc: by Cloudcroft, NM One more Holmes, this time with gas halo and tail.       #1964353 - 11/05/07 08:56 PM Attachment (65 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I decided that since it has grown in size and started taking on a semblance of a tail, I would re-shoot it again. Here it is, a stack of 30 second, 1, 3, and a few 4 minute shots stacked and averaged in DSS at ISO 400. I think I took about 20 images total. Oh, forgot to mention I got my auto-guider to lock on the comet head, so all shots were guided on the comet. -------------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v287/Raven911/Astrophotos/ http://www.eye-of-the-raven.blogspot.com/ My list of second-hand and home-made stuff: Celestron SC6 Celestron C9.25 100mm F6/76mm F4.5/80mm F5/SV NHII 80mm F6 Achros SBIG ST7/Canon 300D/DSI Pro Mono/Starshoot DSCI 8 inch F7 Newt on Edmund EQ 8 inch F4.5 Project Astrograph Post Extras:       novbabies Postmaster Reged: 06/05/05 Posts: 15678 Loc: Northern Georgia!

There is also a bit of coma, especially in the top right corner. My collimation was off a bit. I can never seem to get it quite dead on, it being an SN10 after all. I have found the SN10 to be an excellent match for my 300D. I was lazy too. I shot this in JPG mode, not raw. You can't tell a difference, even at full resolution. -------------------- http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v287/Raven911/Astrophotos/ http://www.eye-of-the-raven.blogspot.com/ My list of second-hand and home-made stuff: Celestron SC6 Celestron C9.25 100mm F6/76mm F4.5/80mm F5/SV NHII 80mm F6 Achros SBIG ST7/Canon 300D/DSI Pro Mono/Starshoot DSCI 8 inch F7 Newt on Edmund EQ 8 inch F4.5 Project Astrograph Post Extras:       Southerner sage Reged: 08/15/07 Posts: 239 Loc: North Alabama Re: One more Holmes, this time with gas halo and t [Re: Raven911]       #1965774 - 11/06/07 01:09 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   it does look great!
