I went out to a bluff overlooking Puget Sound to attempt to see and photograph Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas. The comet has faded to below naked-eye visibility, and required exposures of 3-8 seconds. So I ended up with the stars and comet head elongated into little lines.? Is there any software that will resolve this "motion blur?" Focus Magic can do something like this, but only over about 20 pixels. My "star trails" are? longer. Sized down a bit, it looks reasonable. Five seconds at f/3.3, ISO 1600, Olympus EM-1 MK II and 50-200 f/2.8-3.5.? Couldn't see a thing, could barely detect it with binoculars. Focus by trial and error. https://www.flickr.com/photos/24844563 at N04/54087604179/in/dateposted-public/ I am now thawing out my hands... --Peter
