Time lapse of comet Atlas over a period of approximately three hours.

I used my DSLR camera attached to my 10 inch newtonian reflector telescope to gather the frames needed for this clip. To keep the comet centered in the frame over a long period of time I have to compensate for earth's rotation. For that I use an motorized equatorial mount. I shot 160 frames each with an exposure time of 80 seconds at iso. I then converted all these frames to a single clip with a frame rate of 30fps. effectively bringing almost three hours back to 8 seconds.
Iso 800
