Comet 217P LINEAR taken with the Global Rent a Scope free trial.
1 X 600 seconds ( 10 minutes ) one shot color
with orbital tracking.
To take this image I wrote a ACP plan to enable orbital tracking, keeping the telescope slewing with comets. what this does is keep the comet in focus and makes the stars trail. This way you can take long exposures of the comet without blurring the details. I will post the plan in the forum so you can see the settings I used.
Right now Global Rent a Scope has holiday gift program where you can give a someone $150 point worth of telescope time on their remote controlled telescopes. No more having to go outside in the snow to view the stars when you can say inside warm and toasty and control professional telescope with a few clicks of your mouse.
