Saturn & Lulin (02-23-2009)

This was Saturn (the bright one on the left, with at least one moon) and Comet Lulin around 11:50 pm on the night of February 23rd. The comet was moving so fast that I can see its position change in each of my 20-second exposures. Flipping through them looks like a movie! So this is just 5 x 20" with the XTi and WO 0.8 ff II through the AT66ED, processed in Nebulosity and PSE7.

Here is a focus on just the comet. This is 20x20" of the same set of subs stacked on the comet itself.

    Very nice. Have you considered posting an animation of your exposures? I'd really like to see that...

    Thanks! It's a great idea. I am working on it as I type!
