SLASer Richard Grossen sent me a picture he shot of Comet ISON. Sure puts my anemic efforts at working the comet to shame. And the picture taken in the city (Sandy) no less. Additional details: Oct 23 at about 5:30am MDT 9 exposures at 360s each, stacked (bias, dark and flats) Celestron CGEM 1100 Hyperstar Starlight Xpress H9C MaxImDL Photoshop Lightroom http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/rgrossen2013oct23.jpg patrick

Amazing! Is this one of those shots where you have to cut the comet out of its background because the stars are moving in each shot? And then you pick one background field for the composite photo? Is Richard on this list? I also live in Sandy and would love to watch the master work or get a tutorial on how to capture data like this and then process it. I wonder if he'd be willing to let me sit and watch one of these mornings.

Hi Dion, I don't know what went into making the picture and I don't think Richard is on UA so you can't ask him here. But he is a member of SLAS so you can find his contact info on the SLAS roster.

You can tell just by the picture that ISON is almost all dust, few gas ions in the tail. It's a rock, not an iceball. On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 10:56 PM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net>wrote:
