Re: [APML] Comet IZ and NGC7380



 
Hi All,
 
This morning was a spectacular event with the comet, the head passed right over the emmission nebula NGC7380.  Using my 5.5 inch schmidt camera, I was able to get several rewarding images. I really like the E200 pushed 1 stop for comets, It really brings the contrast of the tail up.  Heres my new image:
 
 
Comments?

Hi Chris,
 
Nice comet!  Is that an asteroid in the mid lower left?
 
Another question.  I am about to truck my Schmidt to the Texas Star Party where I will feed it some E200.  I've used a ton of E200 piggybacking, but never in the Schmidt.  I also give my E200 a 1-stop push.  What exposure under pretty dark sky have you been able to give your E200 before it gets too light to scan good detail?
