A C11 + LISA observation of comet Garradd C/2009 P1 (coma region) - March 26.8 2012:
The comet is well positionned and bright but not a so easy object for me because
sky pollution...
The 2D image of comet + sky (6 x 300 s):
The comet is faintly visible relative to sky intensity. The pollution intensity is
dramatic. Now a 6x 300 s exposure of a sky field (no comet):
The substraction of the two images reveal the comet:
ISIS processing. Details here:
