Re: More comet photos

That's kind of the way it's been around here. Skies at my house are super clear, not a cloud in the sky. My chosen spot is about 12 miles west of here. As soon as I get 10 miles west, it's apparent there's a band of thick clouds on the western horizon extending up to just about where the comet

Well done, Larry. Excellent stuff. The astrotracer obviously does a good job. I'm going to look around for a S/H clip on version for my K5. Alan C On 19-Jul-20 09:28 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I’m pretty stoked about this panorama, I’ve got the comet, the Milky Way, M31 and a meteor. https://www

Re: More comet photos

I've been out 5 times; got images twice ... through haze & clouds, so not much to write home about. The two productive trips I've found it about 9:15pm. If I didn't already know it was there, and where it was I'd have never found it. And it disappears into the haze near the horizon at about 1

Re: More comet photos

I've been out photographing it on two nights, July 16th and 18th. Both nights were far from good...lots of clouds and haze. This is the worst time of the year to try to do astronomy in Nova Scotia...not that there is ever really a good time. I used my K-3 on the 16th and tried my Nikon D3 last n

More comet photos

I’m pretty stoked about this panorama, I’ve got the comet, the Milky Way, M31 and a meteor. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50130605086/in/album-72157715160681323/ Last night I mostly worked on getting closeups of the comet, mostly at 10 seconds with astrotracer and playing with f-stops,

Just wonderful, Larry. I especially like 30445, for the foreground interest and the clarity and intensity of the comet. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sat, Jul 18, 2020 at 4:49 PM Larry Colen wrote: > This HDR might be the kee

This HDR might be the keeper shot from last night, it has the comet, the Milky Way and M31. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50126383518/in/album-72157715148913473/ Full album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157715148913473 Unfortunately I got a bit of a late start s
