Lucky enough to be offered a ride to dark skies over the `Range for my first look in the dark. How cool is P1? Still putting on a great show. We saw quite easily10 to 15 deg of tail, despite the haze and the lights of a distant town (had to pick a spot with pollution towards comet-set . We were just east of Oakey.

Terry let me ride on his losmondy mount for some 160 sec shots.

There is a bit of distortion toward the sides from misalignment of the stack, but the singles have stars looking good to the edges. I'm pretty stoked by the result as I'm still only playing with processing and feeling my way. Lost some of the tail making the sky dark from the raw/tiff.
