@@astrofalls yup, good thing you were using the Rokinon too ... been having some issues with mine ... I paired it with the 585 in SVBONY flavour and despite taking 60 secs shots with the CLS filter, my images came out very soft with puffy stars .... could be the filter ... don't know... and I haven't had another clear night to test out sans filter... although I might have to bring the exposures down a bit ... 17.85 SQM ... so yeah. or try the UHC filter ... I would love to get a narrow band filter for it but I am quite reserved as many are either for short FL or for medium to long FL ... Idas gnb looks good... glad you have your Rokinon rig all sorted!

Thank you for making it possible to see the comet so clearly! We had cloudy skies all the week 😭

Hey, cool galaxy off to the left as well.

Really nice final result Bray. Fantastic!! My weather forecast for Sunday morning was mostly clear, but alas it was not so. The north was completely clouded over, the rest of the sky wasn't so clear either. I'm hoping to get another shot by the end of the week but we've got back to back snowstorms for now. Ugh!!

I'm so, SO glad you showed how it looks like raw, i was and stil am planning to go hunt this comet, i had huge expectations and you humbled me down, i hope it will be better than expected now an i won't be dissapoined

I feel so lucky God is making it a clear sky for me tomorrow night. Haven't had clear skies in a little over a month and I'm finally going to be able to get clear skies and it just so happens it's when the comet is at her closest point so I feel so blessed. It's going to be my first Astro picture of a comment so you can imagine how happy I am. And I'm super happy you guys got good images of it too. Clear skies everyone!

I'm in the Atlanta area. I leave for work at 4:20am. Using my best "reckoning", ("okay, sunrise is over there, that means west is over there, that means north-east is there!") Not surprisingly, I saw nothing. Thank you so much for your efforts and for posting. Thanks!

6:31 watching on slow mo with Bridge of Khazad Dum in the background... so magical. thank you sir for sharing with us 😢

Thanks you for taking the time to show how to process with a container, new to me and great for over night processing lots of files... Great image too, hope mine is even close...

Awesome job Bray!

Very nice, we've had solid cloud cover for at least 2 weeks. Its too bad, usually in Winter we get some of the nicest clearest nights.

I have class 1 dark skies about 15 min drive from my house in Palm Springs. Went down there this weekend and saw it with a decent pair of binoculars

as a resident of Texas I feel your pain

My buddy just recently got a farm in the mountains and there is no city light pollution in the sky, just atmosphere wabble 😅 in order to fight that I just use a less powerful telescope because rn I don't need to look at galaxies and what not. I'm on with what's in our solar system for now, so comets is one of those things that I always wanted to see. Good capture man!!

Wow this was so insightful! All the photos looked amazing too, including the final one 😍 I am in London and thought I saw it last night with naked eye.. it looked like a bright star with flickering green-yellowish tail, nothing that impressive really, I thought it was an airplane at first, but then quickly realized it wasn't.. the skies were perfectly clear and pitch dark, and (what I thought was) the comet was near Ursa Minor constellation in my eye view.. I think I was more surprised than anything 😅 anyway, your setup is so cool and these videos are very informative! Thanks a lot! Oh, and do you have any advice on how to start with astrophotography? Courses or any material you'd be willing to share? Thanks a lot 🌛

I stayed outside for 2 hours watching with my telescope and binoculars in the spot the comet was supposed to be, but nothing, not even a "star" bigger than the others and now I'm pretty sad, but nice video and thanks for showing me what I haven't seen. I'd give everything to have your equipment.... and a clearer sky -_-

All my bike trips through Utah a couldnt believe how clean camp sites were. Bath room were so clean best in all the states.

Really nice image! I'm in the southern hemisphere so I can't see it yet

Thanks for this video Bray, beautiful end result and just what I was looking for in terms of processing. Subtracting the stars from the comet aligned individual light frames makes so much sense!! Not sure if entirely understand why you'd also subtract the background from each of the star aligned frames though. Do you know what the rational for that is as opposed to subtracting it after stacking?

Hello, I'm an Astronomer since 30 years and i studied map of light pollution, if you want to have a really dark sky in Texas you can go near Marathon (Trans Pecos ) or North-West of Guthrie ( near Dumont. This 2 spot ( the first is well-known ... but the second one ??? ) are really dark sites according to light pollution maps.

heyy, its amazing its not possible to even get a glimpse of it here in the city ik its lot to ask for but Can you make a video on how to edit and stack images from basics

wish i could of seen it at its closest/brightest but i couldn't, cant wait to see it later in the month tho!

Let it go! Let it go!

awesome pal love u bud

Hello Bray. Congratulation for that work at night and later on the computer. The steps in Pixinsight can be followed with a lot of attention. But your work in Photoshop is a miracle for me. Is it possible that you describe your workflow in PS? I am planning to be out tonight with a simple star tracker and a 200mm lens on Sony Alpha full frame. Thanks in advance. Greetings from southern Germany. Adrian

Great work, thank you! Curious why you didn't just create a star image via StarXterminator and use that, rather than the comet deletion / star extraction tool in comet align?

Thankyou...

Great video. What was your exposure time?

Certified dank bray, certified

One problem is that the image container does not take an account the linear setting of the starnet. So even if you set to linear and apply to the container it will use the non-linear star removal and the result is not good.

Alright bruh, what's your set up? You could even put a referral link in there. It's beautiful

Hey Bray, I have a question that I hope you can answer. Can you tell me the name of the music / song that plays at the beginning and end of your video? Or maybe the name of the composer? I know I have heard it somewhere else, but could not remember if my life depended on it. Hope you help. By the way, awesome job! The final result of your hard work, impressive.

Hey brother any chance your selling pictures of the green comet. I’ve been out several times looking for the comet and I’ve only seen it once with my telescope. I don’t have all that gear you have for a great photo.

Sux its cloudy here in East mesa

It's possible capture that comet in a 60mm telescope only using a cellphone's camera?

I’m curious to know why you chose a DSLR for your main scope? Is it more suited to comet imaging for some reason or is it what you had at your disposal?
