Site:Jollas, Helsinki, Finland
Targets:Comet C/2002C1 in Cetus
Camera:Olympus Camedia C3030-Zoom
Time:21.2.2002 starting at 16:40UT
Using a digital pocket camera for long exposures requires freezing outside temperatures. I used the camera when it was a few degrees below zero Celsius. I could make exposures longer than few seconds a half dozen times and then the camera must be shut down to be cooled to surrounding temperatures again. Stars down to magnitude 7 were visible in the resulting image files.
