First post, hello to everyone, thought I'd try to post an image of my latest Comet Holmes pic. Meade LX200r and DSI II color with a 3.3 focal reducer, 80 images at 8 secs each, even in the city I got a light green halo of carbon monoxide gas.

Good pic keep taking them, and welcome aboard

Welcome! Nice introductory picture! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the welcome, love that comet, like christmas every night I can get out to view it.

It's the most exciting celestial event in a while - at least one that amateurs can view.

A fine shot of the comet, Welcome to the group.

Great pic and thanks for posting.

Kind regards
Matt

hello boba,

welcome to the group!
nice starter image!
if I may: perhaps you should try to increase exp time or draw some darks. that would deminish the noisyness on the edges of the comet.

Thanks stargazer for the suggestion, if the clouds move away I will try again, no filter suntrack2, except with the ir filter that came with the DSI II.

Congratulations boba5555!

I envy you!

Thank for sharing .
