Re: Recent fun stuff...
Hi Frank, I noticed that too! Could it be that the JWST is orbiting the L2 Lagrange point? Or is it a small arc in the overall path that the craft is taking? If you look at its route below, JWST is at its peak 'bendy point' in its track for the time that I caught this image. JWST Path for the Year.j...

Re: Image & Animation of Comet E3 ZTF
Hey, thanks Pete. I used a freeware program called PIPP to create this animation. I believe that you are already familiar with it. All 90 .fits files were loaded right into the program. Then it's a matter of tweaking the settings and seeing the result. They actually make it pretty easy to see the ef...

Image & Animation of Comet E3 ZTF
If you haven't seen it yet, what are you WAITING for?? Peak viewing of this comet is happening for the next several days, until the moon interferes. I was out during the wee hours of January 24th. My current imaging rig is a CCD camera attached to a 3-inch refractor. I took 1-minute exposures in suc...
