PhotographerMikael SvalgaardLocationDenmarkDateMay 1st - 2013, 02:00 UTEquipmentBorg 100ED f/6.4 refractor, DF-2 focusser, CFW8, ST10XE, STV with efinder, Takahashi EM-200DescriptionJust 36 hours ago comet Panstarrs C/2011 L4 passed the faint nebula Ced214 in Cepheus. I had prepared a few weeks in advance by acquiring some deep H-alpha and SII narrowband exposures to juice up the LRGB images from yesterday. The image was acquired with a 4" refractor from my backyard in the suburbs of Copenhagen using an SBIG ST10XE camera and numerous filters (red, green, blue, luminance, H-alpha, S-II). Panstarrs is fading and the bright nights of summer are near so this image is my way of saying goodbye and bon voyage to a fine visitor. |

PhotographerRichard BarryLocationDunshaughlin County Meath IrelandDate2 April 2013 at 9:44pm (UTC)EquipmentCanon 7D with 200mm lens at F5 mounted on Astrotrac TT320. Exposure 70 seconds at ISO 800DescriptionSky conditions were perfectly clear with the temperature at around freezing point. Both objects were perfectly clear in 16x 30 binoculars when viewed from a dark field location. PANSTARRS has dimmed quite a bit to magnitude 4.66. It has developed a large fan shaped tail which made it much easier to locate. It was also visible for much longer, as it is becoming circumpolar. |
