tbird Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) After a ropey start, last night provided some excellent observing. After seeing the forecast for a clear morning I was determined to seize the chance to get pictures of Lovejoy and Ison. First is Lovejoy, easily visible in a 50mm finder or binoculars between Cancer and Leo. Canon 1100d on Skywatcher 150p and Neq6. 18 x 30 second subs at iso 1600 + 5 darks. To find Ison I had to use the goto, the co-ordinates from http://spaceweather.com/ were very accurate, putting the comet only slightly off centre in the camera. It was not visible in the finder nor my 50mm binoculars. Same kit, but only 10 30 second subs at iso 1600.

Guest Mr T Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Great images Paul. I'm glad you couldn't find ISON in your binoculars, because I couldn't either on Saturday morning, but I wasn't sure if it was just me not looking in the right place. Thanks for the tip about the speceweather link, I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
