Popular Post Clive Posted March 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2020 Comet C/2019 Y4 has been brightening rapidly since its discovery. Currently at around 9th magnitude in Ursa Major, it is predicted to become a naked eye object during April. Imaged on Sunday 15th March as it passed 3° south of M81/M82. 40 x 30 sec full frame exposures using my Canon EOS200D and Canon 200mm F2.8 lens at F2.8, ISO1600, stacked using DSS and processed using IRIS.

James It was quite short lived, once the sun had set it didn't take long for clouds to roll in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a steep learning curve in image processing. The last (and previously only) comet I've imaged was a slow mover so a simple stack worked fine. This one is moving quite quickly so to get both the stars and the comet to appear as stationary was a challenge - and then to recover the meteor from just 1 image of the 40 was yet another. But it keeps me busy whilst stuck at home ☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
