Taken on 14th May 2004 from the Chiltern Observatory, Amersham using an LX200, Vesta SC1 camera with a focal reducer and IR filter at f/4. 50 x 5 second images. AVI of images comected using K3CCDTools and processed using Iris to apply dark and flat fields, register on the comet, and sum the images. Some pattern noise was removed with the FFT commands. Gamma was increased in Registax2 to try to make the tail more visible. Some sort of strucure is visible in the inner coma on the right hand side (towards the Sun). |
