C/2007 N3 Lulin Date: 1-31-09 Equipment: Orion Starshoot Pro CCD camera. Meade 10" SCT working at f/10. Losmandy G11 Gemini mount. 8 x 50 finder used as a guidescope. Orion Starshoot Autoguider and PHD software. Exposure: 1 X 300s Processing: Image captured in Nebulosity. ImagesPlus (calibration and digital development), Photoshop (levels and animation). Notes: I initially took 5 images intending to stack them together.  However, the comet's movement was too great between frames to stack them.  Instead, I made an animation. Be aware the animation is 1.8 meg.
