Hello at all, I put on my site an image CCC made with Schmidt Cassegrain 203 F/10 + reducing of focal distance 6,3. Camera Sbig ST7. the image is visible...
A new mount is giving me fits. Managed to finally put one comet on the chip after weeks of rain and rebuilding the mount and pedestal. This is a 90 sec image...
Hi Mike, What is the new mount? When I switched from my trusty LX-90 goto fork mount to an AP1200QMD with mechanical setting circles I couldn't find any of my...
Hello Dennis. I am moving the FSQ106 off the back of the 10" LX200 Meade and placing it on a permanent mount with a losmandy GM-8 and Gemini GO-TO under the...
Working on images and adjusting the mount between images last night under bad seeing conditions with high thin clouds. Still managed to put two comets on the...
Hi: Below you can view an image of Comet 78P Gehrels taken yesterday night. http://astrosurf.com/paulobg/dso/78PGehrelsd06112004.jpg I've measured with...
I have a new web page illustrating the comet, its orbit, eyepiece view and a short movie of its 1.8 arc minute journey through Andromeda. Don't miss the movie...
Greetings. Please let me say that the Comet-Images board does not apply to "pretty images" only. This board was created at a time when the comet-ml board...
FYI A Comet Turns On (see below) info from Sky and Telescope email news. So what actually do they call this object- a comet or an asteroid? Dr. Eric Flescher...
New to the group, i am most interested in variable star but i gone start to search and image some comet when i am able to it. The weather keep me away from my...
... Beautiful Dave and good to see your post. For those that did not know, Dave is not only a comet imager and follower of comets, but also half owner of the...
Mike's actually lifting the heavy end of the load. Thanks everyone for your postings. I haven't had the time I would like to personally do a lot of comet...
In the folder of the list: Photos/CAST Observatory I have inserted some color photos of the comets : 78P, C2004Q1 and C2004Q2. Regards Rolando Ligustri ...
... Be very kind, thanks! However if there had been less wind and therefore a best seeing, the image of the Q2 would have come very better; I don't see the...
Rolando. Very nice images. I am glad to see that the rain and clouds don't cover the entire world. It has been raining here for almost 3 weeks. Hope you...
I've been away from the group for a few months, but with the bright Northern comets such as Machholz now in range, I thought I'd take the opportunity to post...
Michael. You may have been away for a few months, but you sure haven't lost any ability to image a comet. That is nice. Thanks, Mike H. ... bright ... the ...
Along with my previously posted image of C/2004 Q2 (Machholz), I took two additional images right after it. Here I've hand-stacked the other two in an attempt...
Dave. It does show more of the fainter portions of the tail. Did you tried stacking two or three images on the stars and see what the comet movement looks...
Mike, The comet was moving very slowly. It's near the point where the orbital track loops back on itself from our viewpoint. It's not obvious, but each...

Hello Rolando. On the SXV M25 is developing a strong positive impression. The only limitation is that sensitivity may be reduced because of the color format...
Rolando - processing of images from color CCD cameras can be more challenging and the sensitivity is reduced relative to monochrome; however, in the field,...
