Hi all,

Finally ironed out my signal noise problem thanks to a friend on another forum. Thanks mate. My power cable was running parallel to my usb cable and was causing horrid grid-lines across the images.

I shot 21 frames of 180 seconds only to have my camera stop inexplicably.

It wasn't a total loss, as the 21 frames were pretty good. It just would have been nicer to have more without the interruption. If I had shot another sequence, I would have had a big jump in the video, so I thought it best to go for quality rather than quantity.

I have the video on U-Tube, Vimeo and on my web page, with all my other time-lapses.

Hope you all just LOVE it!

Baz.

That's the first video I've seen of a comet. Looks like only a few hours it moved faster than I would have expected. It's probably got to do with the perihelion point on the comet's orbit, which would be much faster than a circular planet orbit with that radius. This one's orbit seems pretty much along the ecliptic. I remember Hyakabashi and Hale in 1990's seemed to orbit perpendicular to ecliptic.

I spotted it UT 0:00 Feb. 27 not far from Regulus; so it seems to be maintaining its brightness.

Look forward to your video showing it moving away from earth.

thanks, mate
