Back in Feb 2009 Comet LuLan passed through and I was lucky to capture some images with the Xsi attached to my C8 SCT . I'm just now getting around to making an animation . Very short but it just shows movement through the sky . I did not edit the images other than slightly darkening the animation for better seeing . Hope you enjoy . Hopefully this will not be moved to another category because of it being a short video cause this only deals with astronomy and nothing of interest to other catagories for any other reason . Thanks for looking .

Thanks Davenn , this was Feb 28 , 2009 . I took a lot of images from 8:50pm-9:50pm . This animation was 12 of the best I could assemble to make a proper animation cause over the hour period of time the comet moved out of the framing so I had to adjust accordingly and not all images had the comet in a position to add to the animation . Each frame was from 30-secs to 1024-secs .

Hey Ron,

Nice captures and looking from my phone definite hint of the comets tail. Think it would be cool if you could include the time stamp on each one? Then also speed it up slightly?

Thanks Daniel for the comment. I use Premier Elements 10 for my video and editing . For the time stamp i'm aware for adjusting the Time sequence and actually i tried making it less than 1 second each frame but for whatever reason it would not allow it to stay there , it readjusted automatically back to 1.26/secs . So after trying several tries i just went with the minimum it would allow me . But the video is so short it needs some time just to be able to see and comets don't move fast across the sky . These were of many i took over a one hour period of time . But thanks for the suggestion . Now if you know how to force the settings in PE10 settings by all means tell me and i'll check it out and see if it will readjust . Thanks !
