Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) #2

(Edited)


Hey Hivers,

About a month ago I already posted an image of Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS). Last weekend I made a second try on it as the comet came already closer to heart. Its closest approach is predicted for mid/end of May. Then I will make another imaging session and edit the final images.
The image is a stack of 16 pictures aligned on the stars to show the movement of the comet itself. Don't look at all those hot pixels and satellite trails. Also, I have lost some images due to tracking issues. I hope to get this all fixed in my next session end of this week.
With this post, I will also test a new beta version of the @actifit app.

Ahaha as promised in your other post. The satellite lines are actually pretty cool, setting the comet right in the middle of a triangle. It is also cool to get this greenish color for the comet. (I probably noticed that before but never questioned it.)

Thank you very much for your comment @lemouth 😊
Indeed, the satellite tracks are framing the comet.
I don't know if there are also comets that "glow" in other colors. But there are certainly since not all have the same material combination. Up to now, I had however only have seen some with a green glow.

I cannot help here, as I am not an astrophotograph, but I will ask on of my friends here (as soon as we will be de-confined).

Hello,
You know the saying, "Stop and smell the roses"? I think it might be, "Slow down and look at the sky". A green comet! Beautiful. And thank you for the link to Terry Lovejoy's post. Tonight, when I'm dozing off with my iPad, I'll be looking up more information about Comet, Australia.

A lovely post. I hope readers do slow down, look at the comet and follow the link. They'll be glad they did. I am :))

Hi @astrophoto.kevin,
I don't want to be tedious with overly-long responses, but have to let you know that my excursion to Comet, Australia led me to a most interesting personality, Ludwig Leichhardt (he spotted comet Wilmot, after which Comet, Australia was named). Without a formal degree " Leichhardt studied the geology, flora and fauna, and observed methods of farming and viticulture". Eventually one of his expeditions took him into frontier Australia where he and his party disappeared. The mystery of that disappearance has become the stuff of legends.

Slowing down and looking up at the sky sometimes reveals wonders on earth :))

Thank you very much for your kind comment @agmoore 😊
I also read a little bit of Leichhardt after Terry's post. A very interesting explorer.

Slowing down a look a little bit around is always a good idea in our stressful daily life. 😊
