Subject:Comet C/2001 Q4 NEAT, 8-May-2004 00:37 to 00:43UT
Telescope:Takahashi CN-212 Newtonian mode
Mount:Losmandy G-11
Imager:SBIG ST-7 non-E non-ABG
Image Details:The first image is an animation of a series of 10 second integrations as the comet was headed into the trees. You will see the trees as dark shadows in the animation. This comet was moving! Darks, flats and bias frames were used to process. Photoshop was used to make the animation.

The second and third images are a combination of frames taken on the 10th and 11th of May 2004 respectively.

The 5th image was an LRGB image through the CN-212.

The 6th image was an addition of 10 one-minute frames taken through an FSQ-106n at f/5. Some heavy processing was used to bring out the tail structure.
