Details:

For the first time, I have tried to see and to take picture of this "superstar" comet. After many clouds in my sky during the last weeks, the sky was clear the 10 April 2016.I take this image of the comet. It's a 1 hour exposure at 400ISO (20 x 3 minutes) with a Canon 400D baader on a 12 inches telescope. You can see a tail with this comet.

Indeed Pierre, we can see a long ion tail out of the coma. This is impossible to be observed at the eyepiece.
Well done
Michel

Beautiful honest photos! This is a 12 inch telescope ... I dont know how a 8inch F/2.8 can bring out details like this ... in the same scale!

... and with a much less exposure time! (Your is 1 Hour!)

Ok astromazzo.
I give the result I get with my telescope without cheating.
If you are honest, you can see on the web some pictures of a celestial object taken with a simple 80mm telescope, object like if it takes by a 500 mm telescope.

I think you are hard with me.
I think you dont like my pictures and I dont know the reason.
Im going to try to stop to send pictures on Spaceweather, like that, I think you will be happy.

Im sorry youve figured this out, but no, your image is ok, I also clicked on the thumb ...

Your image is 1 hour and is rich in detail and more with his tail straight ... but it is made with a 12-inch ... with 1/4 hours and with only an 8-inch as one (not you but others guys) will get the same images ?

Last.
I made you my compliments, asking how they can get the same results with much less time and with much lower instruments ... they are perhaps placed on the Moon?
