Back to the Arizona Sky

Here is a 20 second video that shows the Hartley 2 Comet moving through the sky. This comet does not have the classic long tail; but there is a definite haze around it.


This short video was made by first taking 100, 25 second exposures (that’s almost 42 minutes in actual time). These 100 pictures were then strung together at 5 frames per second.

It’s a bit crude; but I hope to improve these videos as I learn more about the picture processing software program.

Here are my first astronomy pictures with my new telescope and camera. There will be more to come when I get back to Arizona in October.
