Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS)

(Edited)


Hey Steemians,

This is my first @actifit STEEM/HIVE post to test out if things are working.
On the last weekend, I tried my luck on Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) which is coming closer to the Sun in the next weeks. You can read all about it on @terrylovejoy s post here, Comet ATLAS (and the Town of Comet)

The image itself is just a single image, that's it looks like very noisy. Unfortunately, I hade some trouble with clouds and the tracking had some problems. I'm still figuring out to get things working flawlessly until Atlas has its closest approach. I also got a nice iridium flare or a small meteorite in this frame.

Hey Peter :-)
Danke, ich heiße dich hier auch Willkommen :-)
Da gebe ich dir recht, so reibungslos habe ich es gar nicht erwartet. Ich hab noch mit einigen Anlaufschwierigkeiten gerechnet.

Thank you very much @agmoore2 :-)
I just opened https://hive.blog/trending/my and logged in with my steem user name and steem posting key.
Everything else is working like on steemit as it is a 1:1 clone. Only the wallet seems not to work at the moment.

Hey Kevin, good to see you here. I'm just getting used to the new things too 😂👍
I have been rather busy on Twitter in recent weeks and didn't post much. Good to see you back.

Is that green glow the natural colour? Very pretty.
The flare was a bonus. 👍

Hey Michael, nice to see you here also :-)
I also was pretty silent in the last weeks on steemit. I discovered astrobin and instagram :-D And was very busy with other things in real live :-)

Thank you very much Micheal :-)
Yes, the green colour is natural. The image isn't mich edited as it is very noisy. It is a nearly "out of camera".

I've moved to a new house so didn't do much online stuff except help with the Twitter storm against the #steemhostiletakeover by Tron.
I posted one guitar tutorial video a week on YouTube/Dtube and that was about all.

I've got a great location now for astrophotography.
No light pollution at all.👍😋

That sounds very busy. Moving and renovations are always very time-consuming.
I didn't really follow the #steemhostiletakeover on Twitter because I don't have a Twitter account. But I read a few tweets anyway that were posted in discord groups and on STEEM.
I hope you got an autovote for all your posts yo made ;-)

No light pollution at all.

That sounds like an awesome dream :-)
I'm already curious about what you will show us in the future :-)

We can get autovotes on twitter? I had no idea 😂

The house is in the middle of farmland. Pitch black at night. 👍
I'm also curious with what I'll do next too? 😂👍

Great shot actually, I am hoping for a warm clear night, just to see if I can get a picture of it with my small lens. I hope it does brighten like space weather talked about.

Hallo Kevin!
Schön Dich auch hier zu treffen.
Es ist noch ein bisschen mühsam hier aber ich denke nach und nach wird das hier schon.

Hey @dreimaldad 😊
Schön auch dich hier zu sehen. Ich habe beschlossen STEEM hinter mir zu lassen.
Hier auf Hive wird sich auch noch alles "eingrooven". Immer mehr bekannte Projekte und Tools adaptieren im Moment.
Grüße
