Description

This is my first timelapse of a comet.  After capturing 5.8 hours of subs for a stacked image, I decided to try and convert each of the subs to a frame for a short clip to show the comets progress during the night. 

Higher Quality MP4 found here: https://youtu.be/bLHW-k8resk

Images captured using ASI2600MC, CEM70, Rokinon 135mm, and Optolong L-Pro filter.

Captured 116 x 180s frames for this video.

Each sub was processed in PI using "ImageContainer" & "Process Container" to automate: For each image: BackgroundNeutralization; STF/Histogram stretch; NoiseXterminator. Each image was then saved as a JPG.

LRTimelapse: Luminosity for each image adjusted to smooth out video and remove flickering. Images then exported to MP4 for the video on Youtube linked above.

For the version posted here, I converted the MP4 to GIF using onlineconverter.com
