swansont Posted October 21 Posted October 21 It finally emerged from behind the trees in my front yard (I had to stand at the very end of my driveway to see it) photo with hand-held iPhone 1
Mordred Posted October 21 Posted October 21 (edited) very cool I am hoping to catch a glimpse of it as well. I already have my telescope loaded in my vehicle but its still too bright out where I am at Edited October 21 by Mordred
swansont Posted October 21 Author Posted October 21 I’m glad I moved away from light pollution. I have a much better view to the N and NW but was clouded out of several events of the last 6 months (eclipse, both times the northern lights were super active, one meteor shower peak) The iphone takes surprisingly good sky pictures; that was 2 or 3 seconds. I wonder if it’s stacking short exposures to compensate for camera movement.
Mordred Posted October 21 Posted October 21 (edited) Glad you had better luck than I did. My area had cloud cover over the weekend I was hopeful doing the evening when it looked like be clearing up.. Unfortunately by the time it got dark enough had roughly 75 percent overcast with high enough winds I couldn't keep my 10 " Skywatcher Dobsonian telescope stable enough the brief time I caught a glimpse. Hopefully I can catch it another night lol Edited October 21 by Mordred
Eise Posted October 22 Posted October 22 (edited) Yesterday was my (last) chance: Wide angle, contrast enhanced: Standard, contrast enhanced and cropped: Luckily enough the plane did not collide with the comet. And what it was like when I arrived at the high place (cropped to fake a panorama picture ): Close to the antenna a bit on the left you can see Venus. The mountain is the Pilatus in Canton Lucerne, Switzerland. Camera a Sony alpha, exposure time 30 second ISO 800. PS Height 1020 m. Edited October 22 by Eise
