Comet Holmes 11/2/07 Afocal

Using a Canon A80 Powershot digital camera attached afocally to a 55mm eyepiece in my C11, 12x15sec shots at ISO400 were stacked. For this camera, these are the max settings. The image is inverted since I realized after the capture that I left the diagonal in place.

Using a Nikon D70s at prime, 12x30sec shots at ISO1600 were stacked. The large size of the comet would appear better with a focal reducer which unfortuneately I do not own.

Surprisingly the inexpensive Powershot (complete with finger prints on the lens) seems to give a better image.
