Description

For this image of C/2009 P1 (Garradd) I used my new modified Canon 5D MkII on the 40cm f/4 Newtonian.

The fov of this full frame (24 x 36mm sensor) is much bigger than with the QSI583 (now 77 x 52 arc minutes, was 39 x 29 arc minutes) but still too small for this comet!

42 exposures of 60 seconds between February 2, 2012, 4:55 and 5:40 UT, @ 1000 ISO. For comets a one shot colour camera is a big advantage!

Processing in ImagesPlus, PixInsight and Photoshop CS4. The originals images measure 5632 x 3752 pixels and a TIF-file is 123MB...
