It looks like YouTube tried to "correct" my video which made it pink and shaky. So I've asked them nicely to revert to the original, which was less pink and less shaky.Bummer about the clouds. I didn't realize my footage was cut short because of moisture on the lens. When I couldn't see a single star through the telescope eyepiece for condensation I figured my session was up.Dion On Monday, January 26, 2015 11:51 PM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote: Wow! That thing really is moving. Alas, another thing moving is a bunch of clouds that's currently blocking my view. :) On 26 Jan 2015, at 23:46, Dion Davidson via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
Here is my attempt at an animation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY12AeA9rPg&feature=youtu.be
I set up my Nikon D7000 riding piggy back on my clock-drive Meade 2120 with a 55-20mm kit lens at about 120mm pointed at M44. I took one 8 second exposure every minute at ISO 1600 f/4.8 and combined them in Premiere for this video. I didn't take the time to stabilize the images (or align them) - you can see the wobble in my setup. I never did see this thing with my eyeball - I didn't know which dot was the asteroid in the eyepiece. But it's obvious in the timelapse video! Dion

Beautiful images! Nice capture. Amazing detail.I'm working on my own animation now but from a wider field of view. (DSLR riding piggy back on the clock-drive telescope.)Dion
