It
was neat to compare tiny comet 8P/Tuttle with M33 and comet
17P/Holmes. This is a composite of two images taken with
the same equipment - a Canon
20Da DSLR and Tamron 18-250mm zoom lens set at 250mm.
Five 1 minute exposures at ISO 1600 were combined to make
each image. |

The
emerald-colored comet was a fantastic late christmas gift
for me. Even being sick I did not want to pass up M33 and
Comet 8P/Tuttle.

At
eight a clock a first picture of the comet and M33 was possible,
but then, clouds, clouds and clouds. I spent some hours
outside and after 4 hours the sky clear of. And it was possible
to saw the conjunction between the green comet Tuttle and
the Triangle Galaxie M33. This was a perfect year end 2007!

thwarted most UK imagers on the night of 30/31 December
2007. However, I was lucky enough to get one reasonable
shot of the comet on this night through a 14" telescope.
Using this image and scaling/rotating it to align with a
shot of M33 taken earlier in the year I was able to produce
this composite image. Further details are available on the
image. |

What
an amazing envent! The comet 8P/Tuttle coming nearby the
spiral galaxy M33. In the night of Dec 30 I went to the
countryside of Beijing with Jin Zhu to observe the envent.
I used Takahashi FSQ106 telescope and EM200 mount and Canon
30D DSLR, took 6 photoes every 5 minutes, and every
photo's details were ISO 1600, 2 minutes exposure. Then
I composed these photoes into a gif movie. This movie shows
how the comet going to the galaxy. |
