Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova
This is a series of 20 sixty second exposures. They were taken 2017 FEB 13 between 1114 and 1134 UT with a Paramount ME, C-14 telescope operating at f/5.5 & ST-10XME camera binned 3x3, chilled to -10 and using a clear filter. FOV is about 18 x 26 arc minutes.
North is up. East is to the left.
Software used: TheSky6, CCDSoft & Orchestrate.
Glare in the images was caused by the very bright Moon.
It's sometimes necessary to let the animation run through a few times before it starts running smoothly.
