Comet 3I/Atlas

by KuriousGeorge

Equipment: Planewave CDK24, ZWO ASI6200MM Pro

Integration: 3h

I haven’t seen many 3I/Atlas images that detail the Coma. This is my attempt by using the Planewave L600 to track on the comet rather than the stars. Then I can do 60 × 60s exposures (3 hours) on rotating RGB channels with little comet blur. PI CometAligment helps compensate for the 60px L600 drift over 3 hours. It’s not perfect as it’s not a perfectly linear path. Further detail may be extracted…
