First Try Comet Atlas

#1

Post by Astrovetteman »

I had NO idea how Tough it was to process a Comet using mono CCD data! Here's my first feeble attempt at Comet Atlas. I took 30 L@180s with the NP127 and 10 each RGB@180s with the TV-85. Hope my processing gets better...gonna watch a lot of tutorials!!
Hope ya like it!

Yup, one reason I got the ASI1600MC-cool. Everyone needs a good OSC.

Nice pic,
