| Date : | 2013-04-06 |
| Image process tool : | Siril, Gimp, Irfanview |
| Processing : | synthetic bias and flats |
| Site : | Sweden, Stockholm, Hagsätra. Bortle Class 9 |
| Comment : | 11 years later I processed the image once again, now with more modern tools. Siril for pre processing and Gimp for fine tuning. I didn't have correct flats for f/6.3 and made a special one of the f/4.5 flat I had, also the bias is replaced wit a constant, =127 which is correct for this 12-bit camera. I have suppressed the stars a bit to get better focus on the comet. The colors were problematic and I chose to convert it to monochrome. Better ? Maybe the tail is more details in now, but what I did with the old tools that's much less advanced wasn't a bad job. |
PanSTARRS C/2011 L4, 2013-04-05 |
| Date : | 2013-04-05 |
| Time (UT) : | 23:43 to 00:08 |
| Mount : | SkyWatcher EQ6 Pro, beltdrive modified (DIY 2019) |
| Lens/telescope : | Pentax 500 mm f/4.5 (medium/35mm format lens) |
| Corrector/Barlow : | - |
| Field (FOV) : | 4.1x2.7o (full frame) before crop |
| camera : | Canon 5D Mk I, QE=0.25, full frame, 12 Mpixel, 12 bit |
| camera temperature: | About 3o C above surrounding temperature |
| Film/CCD : | Raw, Cr2 |
| Filter : | none |
| Exp. time : | 20x60 seconds at ISO1000, at f/5.6 |
| Image process tool : | Siril, Gimp, Fitswork, Irfanview |
| Processing : | Dark and flat calibrated |
| Comment : | A test how to get something from the other photos I took with more modern software. One problem with this camera was to handle the red channel. I'm not sure why, what's different with this old camera is that it only had 12-bit resolution. A guess can be that it's not linear. |

PanSTARRS C/2011 L4 and Andromeda Galaxy, 2013-04-06 |

| Comment : | During the night the comet pass by close to the Andromeda galaxy. It had been much better if I had let the aperture to be fully open at f/4.5, softer but more photons collected. |
