The Seattle area finally had a clear-ish night. I went out to a bluff overlooking Puget Sound to attempt to see and
photograph Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas. The comet has faded to below naked-eye visibility, and required exposures of 3-8
seconds. So I ended up with the stars and comet head elongated into little lines. Is there any software that will
resolve this "motion blur?" Focus Magic can do something like this, but only over about 20 pixels. My "star trails"
are longer.
I would try Topaz. No idea if it would work any better.
Sized down a bit, it looks reasonable.
It does indeed!
Five seconds at f/3.3, ISO 1600, Olympus EM-1 MK II and 50-200 f/2.8-3.5. Couldn't see a thing, could barely detect
it with binoculars. Focus by trial and error.
Ah, yes, the EM-1 Mk III and the OM-1 bodies have a Starry Sky AF Mode.

I am now thawing out my hands...
