But that depends on the visibility and brightness of the sky. Just experiment. Even if the comet seems quite faint, It might be very visible on the image. A darker sky might help getting better contrast, but you could lose detail of the landscape, so experiment the the time of day also. -- Jörg ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
