Hi Pete, LOL! Yea, that's a satellite. The data was from a single 20-min exposure so I couldn't use sigma reject. I am going to try for a deep color shot...
Oh, I forgot to mention that there might be a anti-tail at the 7pm position. What do you guys think?? Or is that an illusion of possibly another part of the...
Like most astrophotographers with clear skies, I was out last night shooting the comet, but due to the Regulus occultation, decided to make an all-nighter of...
Didn't come up with a tail, though..... http://www.lafterhall.com/17p-holmes_sv80s@f5_mosaic_ferreira_001.jpg Having some kind of good time now! Jim Livermore...
Even a SDM combined couldn't get rid of the stars in this deep color exposure, but it does show the color and the blue tail. You'll either love or hate this...
I like it Ray, your Holmes image shows the tail better then any I've seen so far! Do you think you were able to capture it so well due to dark skies? My...
Hi Jim, your images look similar to my results, I couldn't capture a tail either. I'm curious as to your use of the red filter for the comet image, why did you...
Great shot, Ray. Both the lum and the color show amazing detail. Did you guide this image on the comet itself, or were the frames unguided? What did you use...

Hello, Ijust posted to the files section my 10 x 180s blue filtered comet Holmes. This was done with the ASA N12 f/3.8 corrected Newt from my backyard here in...
Hi Todd, Thanks! I had the rate set to the comet, but unguided. -Ray ... .jpg <http://www.gralak.com/Astro/Holmes-AP160-110min-Nov1-2007-> Mono.jpg>...
Really nice work John! If looks like you tracked on the stars instead of the comet. If so I think you would get a little more tail definition if you tracked on...
Thanks Ray, What I can do is go back in and align all the subs on the comet instead of the stars. Let's see if I get more definition in the tail structure. If...
John, I'm looking forward to seeing your results! I'm not on again at nmskies until tomorrow night so imaging Holmes will have to wait until then. That's an...
Hi Iver I took some test shots through clear, blue and red of the comet and liked the contrast I saw in the red. In all honesty, the difference was minimal....
I used the blue filter to bring out the blue in the ion tail. The ion tail is invisible in the red and green channels. Luminance channel only would be washed...
John, great shot pulling out the ion tail. Can't wait to see the dark site rendition. What still amazes me is that its 2.4 AU from the sun, and 1.6 AU from ...
I finally managed to get out and shoot Holmes: http://www.santangeli.net/holmesmore.jpg It's a nice visual object, and surprisingly nice photographically. I...

Hi, Anyone have an AP portable pier for the AP1200 rotting away in their garage that needs a new home? My AP1200 shows up in a few weeks (woo!-hoo!), but I...
Hi all, It looks like ASGT saddle plate has only one big side screw (and one small) which hold dovetail and all mounted scope(s)and camera(s)..unless there are...
