M51 and C/2013 U10 (Catalina) with an LN300 video camera and a 150mm AZ Newtonian
The LN300 video camera fitted with a light pollution filter was placed at the Newtonian focus of an f/5, 150mm Star Discovery Newtonian on its AZ GOTO mount. The camera was set to 512x exposure and 44 images of M51 were captured using SharpCap, via a USB capture card. The images were derotated and stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and post processed in Photoshop:
On January16, 100 images of Comet Catalina C/2013 U10 were captured with the camera set to 256x exposure.20 of the images were derotated and stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and post processed in Photoshop:
When all 100 images were derotated and stacked, the movement of the comet was clearly visible:
