Comments: |
Comet was moving at almost 6 arc-minutes per hour which resulted in a lot of star trails. Applied techniques shown in Dec 2013 edition of Sky&Telescope "Capturing Comets" article by Chris Cook to create an image of the comet and the background stars without trails... Great article Chris! |
