Re: Comet 17P 12-4-2007 pic added to gallery
Tyler and Joe,
Nice image Kurt. . . . Thanks for posting the image.
Thanks. These are all just quick pics - unguided short 2.8 sec x 4 exposures with a telephoto lens kludged onto a DSI Pro I. Something I can grab and go with at 10pm or 11pm when the 16% clear weather window in December cooperates and that only takes a few minutes to make an image with in 40 deg temperatures. More to document the comet between weather fronts rather than going for a skillful image. But hopefully it will inspire those of you with the _real gear_ to take another pic. If you do get a clear weather window, don't forget to try for Comet 8P, which I understand presently can be acquired inbound as a faint mag 9 fuzz ball about 3 degs PA 350 north of rho1 rho2 Cep. Haven't seen it myself. http://www.utahastronomy.com/Current_observing_events#Comet_8P_Tuttle_12-14_... - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net
