| Date: | March 21-22, 2002 |
| Exposure: | L 3 : 10 x 20s |
| Processing: | MaxIm for calibration, combining, and stretch. Photoshop for final adjustments and jpg conversion. |
| Conditions: | Clear night, no breeze |
| Scope: | Vixen 102mm Flourite @ f6.5 |
| Camera: | SBIG ST-8E, -25° |
| Comments: | The comet is low in the west. When the sun sets, I had about 1 hour to get the images before it dropped behind the trees. I took these over two nights and running both scopes/cameras at the same time. The integrations were short enough to go unguided. The ST237A is a single 60s image. |
