Description

Dear editors,

I just capture the 12P/Pons-Brooks in the past few days. LRGB combination to reveal color background galaxies and stars.

More importantly, I linearfited R,G,B data to G2V stars as the white balance reference, so I can get the real color of the comet, saturation of the comet has enhanced in the image.

Data captured on Augest 6/8/9,
1)Tracking on comet speed:
L=26*900s
R=8*900s
G=8*900s
B=8*900s
2)Tracking on star speed:
L=8*900s
R=6*900s
G=8*900s
B=6*900s

Nearly 20hours data from my dual-TOA130.


Hope you like it. Thankyou!
