Comet Lulin Closest Approach 4.3 Hour Time Lapse

Hey how did you cool your camera down during and after the long exposures? Did you use a fan or cooling paste? Because I used a Panasonic Fz100 and it's a point and shoot and used iso 800 and shutter speed of 15 sec and to minimize image noise or hot pixels I used a normal fan at medium speed to cool it down :) and it actually worked!!

For coling the DSLR camera I used a whole camera pelier cooler that I built. I have detailed instructions online for building the cooler on my web site: garyhonis

Glad to hear you were able to cool your panasonic camera using just a fan.

Images were taken from my backyard deck in Conyngham, PA with some passing clouds, haze and light pollution from a nearby city.
