Hi all,

If Warren's late, what am I? 8O

Here's my one and only attempt at Holmes so far, taken this past Monday, Oct. 29.

I shot an LRGB sequence with 30-second subs, only to discover during processing that 30 seconds was way too long to preserve details in the comet's nucleus. Details were better preserved in the RGB data, so I went with that.

SBIG STL-6303
Takahashi FSQ-106N
Takahashi EM200 Temma 2

RGB: 12x30 seconds for each filter, all binned 1x1

Enjoy,
Eric

That looks as good as the rest of them. I am still waiting for the movie to come out.
