I started out wide (50mm) until I picked up the exact location of the comet. If I wanted the moon and comet in the same image, I couldn't go much over 150mm. I pulled back wider to bring the ground in on some shots (that I will try to do a time lapse from later today). For the final several images, when the sky was darkest, I zoomed in to 500mm on the comet itself. All images were shot with the 2 sec. self-timer to get mirror up and give vibrations time to settle down. Last night was probably the easiest to locate the comet thanks to the thin crescent moon location (also making it the most picturesque evening sky) so I'm glad that the Nebraska skies picked last night to finally give me an opportunity to see it. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
