Closeup of first image, gamma/cont. tweaked in PS
Quick 10 sec. exp. of Orion before packing it in on the 11th. No tracking, just DSLR on tripod.
Although I am happy that I did capture the comet with the 18-55mm kit lens, it is of such low resolution that I can barely make it out. Use what you have....and I did, however I crave the nice images like I have seen around the internet. With that in mind I have repurposed my Orion guidescope package for use with the smartEQ mount from iOptron in hopes of getting some good up close comet shots. See next blog entry for details.
