PANSTARRS - 2013/03/18
« on: 2013 March 20 13:47:53 »
Hi,

This is a photo of comet PANSTARRS with a 20 inch CDK and a Proline 16803 from the Aras de los Olmos Observatory:



Total exposure time is about 21 minutes (22x12 sec and 33x30 sec exposures) with Sloan r' filter. At this size, image scale is about 0.9 arcsec/pixel.


Best regards,
Vicent.

Hi! Thank you very much for your comments!

Unfortunately, the circular structure to the right side of the comet head is a reflection of the comet on the filter. I'm working on a new version without that artifact, I have been able to remove it very well. I'll upload the new version in two weeks (I'm going on a trip for 10 days) and a brief explanation of how I did this.

Apparently, the APOD guys didn't find interesting my image...

I like the image by Gerald. But things go a lot easier when you don't have to manage with the dynamic range of the object...


Best regards,
Vicent.
