Alternative processing of the time lapse images I posted earlier, with dynamic background subtraction using PixInsight to enhance the contrast.
I recorded this 1 hour time lapse of comet ISON this weekend at the Northwest Florida Observatory using their 20" Meade telescope.
Galaxies NGC 3428 and 3429 are visible on the left side of the image.

WSO claims it's impossible that the eclipses seen in August and again a few days ago on October 30th were due to the moon because they occurred in different directions relative to the sun. That sounds sensible and logical, but is it? Tonight we test to see if it really was the moon, or something else.
