I did not notice movement of the comet through the evening, but on close examination, the background stars behind the coma showed a distinct shift over 2 hours. By the 31st, the Moon was no factor.

Equipment

WO Zenithstar 105mm APO on Losmandy G-11; Pentax istDL DSLR, ISO800, 20 sec. each exposure

There saemed to be very little movement of the comet over 2 nights, so I thought one photo would be enough; but when I checked two exposures taken 2 hours apart, The shifting of stars seen through the coma was obvious.

Date

2007-10-31 @ 23:11 (eastern)

Equipment

Olympus E-510 ISO 800 F: 4.2 Focal Length: 118mm 5 sec. exposure Tripod only

Description

Thanks to Tropical Storm Noel, it was a very cloudy and windy evening with alot of "sucker holes". The skies finally cleared about 23:00 (eastern) but the winds continued. In a brief moment of stillness I was able to capture this image. Only post processing done was to remove a slight amount of digital noise and add the text to the photo. For a cloudy / windy evening and only a tripod mount, I am very happy with the reseulting image!

Equipment

Homemade 20inch F4 Newtonian AltAz in a dome StarlightXpress MX7

Description

Image was 21 x 10 second exposures (210sec total) Sky conditions were poor, but the comet was quite easy to see Visually using my 16inch dobsonian next to the dome, the comet appeared slightly green with a copper centre. First attempt at stacking, I have 280 to go through so hopefully I can do better.
