Canada Re: Comet Christensen on the move [Re: Special Ed]       #3384754 - 10/12/09 01:28 AM Attachment (8 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Special Ed, Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into doing that for future images. I am and always will be a student of image processing. There is so much to learn and to try. The attached is one more of Christensen which I managed to get on Oct 5th just before it slid away behind the trees and with a full moon in the east! It was visually very hard to discern with the LX90. 12 X 20 second lights, ISO 800 with the AT66ED and Canon XSi. Cheers...

I can no longer see the comet due to trees. The weather has been cloud and rain since the 9 October. Thanks for the comet fix... Cheers...
