PhotographerZdenek BardonLocationThe Czech republic (EU)Date25.October 2006, 18:00-18:40UTCEquipmentFSQ-106 Takahashi - main telescope ST-2000XM - CCD camera G-11 Gemini Losmandy mount 76ED Borg - guide telescope ST-7XE - as guider CCD cameraDescriptionMy comet image is sum of 20 images of 60 second exposures. Basic processing was made by the MaxIm DL 4.56. I calibrated the 20 light frames with master dark and flat frames after I aligned light frames on the centroid of the comet's nucleus with combination of the images using the Median filter Output. The result was an image of the comet's head. This one was subtracted from the other 20 light frames and result were 20 light frames without comet. So I aligned light frames according to the stars and combined 20 light frames to one image. Then I added the image of star with the image of comet's head and final processing was done by Photoshop CE. I took it on 25 October 2006 from 18:00 UT to 18:40 UT. |

PhotographerLeek Meng LeeLocationNational University of SingaporeDate16 Jan 2007, 2am local timeEquipmentCelestron C8, Toucam with Baader Contrast booster filter, vixen GP mount in very rough alignment, recall that I am at the equator.DescriptionThe use of webcam and image processing really marvels me always. My C8 is fractionally out of collimation and I am experiencing year-end monsoon rains so the seeing is terrible. Besides, I took this where concrete is all around me. Local seeing is also bad. |
