Description

Here's comet C/2014 S2 on the night of April 5th.

This was taken with Celestron Edge HD 14" and hyperstar adapter, bringing the focal ratio to F/1.9.

The imaging camera was a Celestron Nightscape 8300.

There are 41 x 3 minute exposures in the animation.

Guiding was done via an 80mm guide scope with Lumenera camera. Metaguide and FlexRX was used to shift the guide star at the correct rate to keep the comet centered *and* correct for flexure between the guide scope and the imaging camera.
