| Comet C/2012 S1 ISON and asteroid 433 Eros captured on 25 September with iTelescope T4 at around 5:10 am local time in New Mexico, USA. The image is a stack of 10 x 60 second Luminance exposures. Images stacked then SUMMED using ImageJ, then contrast enhancement applied. click to embiggen | Animation made from all 10 images. Contrast enhanced to see the comet tail better. |
Comet C/2012 S1 ISON was further from asteroid 433 Eros this morning (compare with last nights images) . The Moon being rather close there was strong interference with the images. My run with T5 with an R band filter was not any improvement, with strong twilight interference.
