PhotographerNiels V. ChristensenLocationCopenhagen, DenmarkDate27,28 Feb-2009EquipmentThe picture is taken with Canon 20Da, ISO800 and WO FLT-110 without field flattener for FLT used. Total exposure time ~ 90min. Dark and flat frames used. Filter: 2" IDAS LPS. Guide via Meade 16" LX200ACF, FR3.3 and DSI-I Camera.DescriptionThe BG layer consist of 5 pictures: 5*30sec which are tracked on the comet kernel and which are aligned and stacked (average combined) on stars. The FG, comet layer, consist of 38 pictures: 10*60sec; 12*120sec; 15*180sec; 1*600sec; which are tracked on the comet kernel and which are aligned and stacked (median combined) also on the comet kernel. Median combine remove the star tracks. The FG, comet layer is then masked together with the BG layer via APS CS4; thereby integrating the best/relevant information from the two layers. |

PhotographerAndres ChapmanLocationArgentinaDateFeb.25.2009 2:10amEquipmentRefractor 100/600 Orion telescope.Eq3 mount dual axis.Canon 300d DSLR camera.25frames,20sec each at iso 800DescriptionEta Carinae (η Carinae or η Car) is a hypergiant luminous blue variable star in the Carina constellation. Its luminosity is about four million times that of the Sun and, with an estimated mass of between 100 and 150 solar masses, it is one of the most massive stars yet discovered. Because of its mass and the stage of life, it is expected to explode in a supernova in the astronomically near future. |

The difference to my first Lulin submission: Performed a reproceesing of the comet layer to enhance Lulin. |
