PhotographerStephen LuzaderLocationFrostburg, MDDateOct. 31 - Nov. 3, 2007EquipmentOct. 31 and Nov. 3: Orion 80 mm "ShortTube" refractor piggybacked on a Losmandy GM8 mount. Nov. 2: Orion 80 mm ED refractor on an unguided tripod. Images taken with an SBIG STVDescriptionThe Oct. 31 and Nov. 3 images are stacks of five 5 second STV exposures. The Nov. 2 image is a stack of about forty half second unguided exposures taken over a period of about an hour and rescaled to the same equivalent focal length as the ShortTube images. The comet was 1.62 AU from earth, so the diameter of the coma increased from about 387,000 km to 512,000 km over those four nights. |

PhotographerJeff PerontoLocationElizabeth, IllinoisDate11/09 11:00pmEquipmentCanon 20D at ISO 400 with Tamron 180mm F/2.5DescriptionAfter many days of bad weather, we finally had a decent night to image. Using a manual focus Tamron 180mm lens on a Canon 20D, nine three minute subs were taken while piggybacked on a Paramount ME. The exposures were hardly enough to provide data of the tail but there was just enough to make it visible. |
