Comet Lulin Animation From 2009

Link: http://mynightsky.net/

With all the images and videos of the comet C/2022 E3 ZTF going around, I thought I’d post this animation I did of comet Lulin I did back in 2009. At the time this was the best I could do, it’s jumpy because of how much time there was between each set of exposures.

Exposures started at about 11pm. Feb 26th 2009 from San Diego County, Anza Borrego Desert. There was a total of 75 sub exposures, 25 each RGB filter @ 45 second, with a 30 second delay between exposure using a Takahashi Epsilon-180 and an SBIG-ST10XME / Guiding on the comets core. This would allow enough time over the 75 exposures to see how far this comet is moving in about 3 hours. This particular comet was moving very fast through solar system, which is why I decided to make it a video.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
