  • Details
    Date Taken: 08/04/2011
    Location: Austin, TX
    Telescope: Orion 10" f/3.9 Newtonian Astrograph

    Camera: Canon 5D mkII No filter
    Processing: Gathered and processed in Images Plus 4.25
    Exposure: 30 X 20 sec. @ iso 800
    Notes: Very strong and easy to use imaging scope easily reaches out and obtains an 8.9 Magnitude comet in detail from downtown Austin, Texas with no auto-guiding. I believe this to be the first image by an armature of this comet this year.
