Comet 17P/Holmes, Animation, Oct 27-28. The original file date stamp for that image was 10/27/2007 10:23 PM. I was on 17p until around 2:20 this morning. I was also using the piggybacked scope to take an image every 10 min. Attached is an animated GIF constructed with these images. There isn't much but you can see some movement during the (approx.) 4 hours. The image is from around 10:00pm thru 2:20 AM this morning.

I took this image of Jupiter on the 12th of July, with my new Firewire DBK21AF0.4AS camera by The Imaging Source. It was an original 1200 frames of AVI file stacked and processed in K3ccdTools and Photoshop 7.0. I believe I can get better resolution with a 3x barlow at f/20+/- and some better seeing. The seeing that night was pretty good but not perfect. The specific data is on the image.
