Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, M35, and Jellyfish Nebula
A processed image using the same data for 9/16/18 as this timelapse movie www.flickr.com/photos/124244349@N07/44737796122/in/photos... . Green Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner is moving towards orange Propus (Eta Gemini) and away from blue-white Messier 35, an open cluster. The PixInsight Comet Alignment utility assists in the assembly of two images -- one freezing the motion of the stars, the other freezing the faster movement of the comet. They are combined here into one image. The red Jellyfish Nebula can be found just to the East of Propus. From my yard 10 miles north of New York City.
Tech Details: Borg 55FL astrograph/IDAS LPS-D2filter/ZWOASI 1600MC astrocam/iOptronCubePro 8200mount unguided/18 X 3 minute SharpCap Livestacks of 4 second exposures, processed with PixInsight.
