Comet Lemmon Farewell
One of the best views I had from Comet Lemmon on the last 26th October as a happy farewell of a long journey visitor which gave to all of us incredible moments under the stars. The images were captured on a recent trip to Àger in Catalunha, Spain, in a magical place I found near the lake. Using a Z8 astro modified on a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 tracked on a Polarie U. The wide field scene could show the incredible extension of the undulated Ion tail from Comet Lemmon and some disconnection events happening in the so active ion tail! It’s also incredible to notice the unbelievable and undesired amount of satellites that in a short 30 minutes time lapse have crossed the field of view. I also processed the 200mm close-up time lapse in a special way, starting the scene with full of satellites, then without them (using my new clever technique to get read of them on time lapse in a simple easy way) and finally, with a starless version to just shows the motion of the tail. To nightscape near the lake while setting was captured at 70mm, with same equipment and mount. I hope you enjoy this last view, happy farewell!
PT: Despedida do Cometa Lemmon
Uma das melhores visões que tive do Cometa Lemmon no passado dia 26 de Outubro, como uma despedida feliz de um visitante distante que nos proporcionou momentos incríveis sob as estrelas. As imagens foram captadas numa recente viagem a Àger, na Catalunha, Espanha, num lugar mágico que descobri perto do lago. Utilizei uma Z8 astro modificado com uma objetiva Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 com seguimento numa montagem portátil Polarie U. O cenário de grande campo permitiu revelar a incrível extensão da cauda de iões ondulada do Cometa Lemmon e alguns eventos de desconexão a ocorrer nesta cauda iónica tão activa! É também de notar a inacreditável e indesejada quantidade de satélites que, num curto timelapse de 30 minutos, atravessaram o campo de visão. Também processei o timelapse de close-up a 200 mm de uma forma especial, começando a cena com todos os satélites, depois sem eles (usando a minha nova técnica para os eliminar em timelapse de forma simples e fácil) e, finalmente, com uma versão sem estrelas para mostrar apenas o movimento da cauda. A paisagem noturna perto do lago, durante o pôr do cometa, foi captada com 70 mm, com o mesmo equipamento e montagem.
Espero que gostem desta última imagem. Até à próxima!
