DSI III behind homebuilt 6" f1.3 lens system

Description

Taken om March 30th,PanSTARRS is now fading from view. 18 min separates these two images of the comet. The infinite stare approach renders a reasonable 3d effect and brings out the rather subtle separateness of the 2 tails.

Hello friends, Photo made on 03/29/2013 at 20:38:17 Cannon 60Da camera with a 61mm x 250mm f4.1 finder scope as a lens. ISO, a blazing 6400, and an exposure time of 2 seconds. Camera on tripod method

Description

The full story of Comet, Pan-STARRS is not yet told, and I encourage everyone to continue following this icy visitor from the Oort cloud. Each night the Comet is visible, is another chance to spend a little time with this wonder of the night, each visit holds another gift for the observer. Time well spent.

Tonight I wish to submit two images of Comet, Pan-STARRS as it continues to grace our backwoods Missouri skies...it is getting harder. With the Full Moon at my back and the stars slowly appearing above my head I scanned the horizon looking for the famous celestial visitor we call Pan-STARRS. It is indeed dimmer, but still makes a nice showing for those who take the time to seek out this marvel in the darkness. A Cannon 60Da camera was used with a Baader 61mm x 250mm Vario Finder as a lens. Exposure of 3"2 seconds at f 4.1 and ISO of 2000 were used. Camera on tripod method.

Description

This is a lonely, dark place where we live, but I love it here, and this time of night is special to me as the sounds of the night birds and animals fill the air, and viewing this wonderful comet makes it all the better. A sight I will never forget. This visitor from the Ort Cloud has touched many of the people of the Earth and I am most happy to have made it part of my life.
