Beautiful photos. Thanks for the details on the equipment and exposures - saves me asking! Why doesn't Encke have much of a tail? Dion On Monday, October 21, 2013 7:16 AM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote: On 20 Oct 2013, at 11:55, Chuck Hards wrote:
Kurt posted this over on Jay's forum. Close to ISON and appreciably brighter. Sounds like a better target for imaging at present.

Still awful conditions (Moon, haze, partial obstruction by roof and tree) but here are a couple of shots from a few minutes ago of both comets. Same equipment (C-14 @ f/5.5, ST-10 binned 3x3, clear filter) and same exposures (six 5" exposures stacked) for each image. http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/encke_ison_2013oct21.jpg patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
