Parallax in the Hubble Images of Comet ISON - By Astronomy Live

1. *form a trail.
2. And by the way, image stacking is an accepted practice in astrophotography, both by amateurs and professionals. Sometimes we stack on the stars and let the comet for a trail, like in this picture I took of Comet C/2013 R1 Lovejoy: goo . gl / V2CZ5c The difference with Hubble is that it's orbiting earth, rather than stationary, so if it does track the stars rather than the comet the trail formed will not be a straight line due to parallax.
3. Here's another example, but in this case Hubble was tracking the "comet" rather than the stars (P/2010 A2 turned out to be an asteroid that had experienced a collision and the debris generated a temporary tail). Thus the stars show the parallax rather than the comet; that is how Hubble normally operates when photographing comets. The processing they do to the image eliminates the stars in most cases, but you can see the "V" shaped parallax when stacking the raw images: goo . gl / nVwqrd
4. What evidence is there that it is changed its trajectory?
5. I will believe everything is all on the up and up if you show me JUST ONE image like that with another comet. We have had hubble for how long now? show us one other comet that looks like that? Anyway let us presume it is parallax, then it proves a HOAX because who would take 3 images of a fast moving sports car in different positions, layer them together without KNOWING they are deceiving the public? Let us take 3 pictures of you and layer them and send to your mum to see if she recognizes u
6. Wait a minute did you just say the streaks are cosmic radiation? Those streaks are called meteors...The sky is full of them. Any time exposure of the sky will give the same results. Oh yeah Cosmic radiation does show up but as tiny pinpoint dots of brilliant white light. Your theory of how the V shape came about is ludicrous. OK, so you are saying is that the Comet made a 75 degree turn to make the V..."Interesting, what made it turn?
7. Excellent work!
8. Good one, Ponton.
9. messierhunter explains this further with a new video: "Comet ISON Parallax Looking at it from a Different Perspective" /watch?v=9xY2w9dXJGY 
10. That's what I like about you, you give credit to other people's videos.
11. Thank you very much,, 
12. very smart perception
13. Where are the rest of the images from other space telescopes and non amateur telescopes?
14. nice work.
