OK it will be clear enouch for both of you on the night of 23rd Jan but
you may have to snap it through a sucker hole. Just make sure you note
down the exact local time that you snap the picture. You should both use a
3 minute exposure at about ISO1600 for your scope apertures to brinbg up
the star field. Perhaps our resident Professional Photographer with the ~
7" refractor (1000mm f5.6) would like to add to this advice?
You want me to take a photo of the comet with my Nikon for comparison??
Excellent... contact me on the 19 of Jan /05 with the reminder. I'll give
it a shot.
If I calibrate the flash.... Do you think I'll get any Red Eye??
Will you still be able to work out the distance from the photos?
BTW.... it's a 6" lens dia...... 36" long lense when extended not
including the shroud.... no mirrors..... is that okay to use? Should I
load a gel??
