It was amazing to be able to see the comet well with my eyes, but that it was so visible in an area with a lot of light pollution was remarkable as it crossed the sunset horizon. I'm glad I caught it in focus on the Leica's sensor with its glass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theseahawk Posted October 15, 2024 Author Share #5 Posted October 15, 2024 On the next night (13 Oct.) I was up in the much darker skies of Hood River county, Oregon, on the north slopes of Mt. Hood near Lost Lake. Amazingly I found another great viewing of it with my naked eyes as well as what I caught on the SL2-S. This time I had temporarily lost my tripod, and used the camera hand-held but braced, relying on the camera's excellent IBIS and OIS to get away with 1 and 2-second exposures. Welcome, dear visitor!

bcorton Posted October 16, 2024 Share #7 Posted October 16, 2024 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I posted these in the M10-R image thread, but perhaps here is a better place. Three photos all from last night. In all, the anti-tail is visible due to Earth's passing through the orbital plane of the comet. All were taken near Mammoth, Utah. Tripod used for all three photos. First image: M10-R, 50mm Summicron-M v5, @ f/2, ISO 6400, 1/2 second exposure. Welcome, dear visitor!

theseahawk Posted October 16, 2024 Author Share #10 Posted October 16, 2024 Stunning captures, @bcorton - the lighting and tack sharpness of the 50mm image especially is great (looks much sharper than my images). Thanks for sharing your's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcorton Posted October 16, 2024 Share #11 Posted October 16, 2024 Thank you. But I had a tripod. Your hand-held shot amazes me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
