Lovely work Justin. There has been some great shots from people who have tracked the comet. If I had the time and energy, I would lug the EQ6 to my observing site.

Hi, Dan.

Thanks for that.
I only completed the portable tracking mount a week ago, lucky for me!

Cheers,

What do you mean by "portable?" What type of mount do you have?

Hi, Dan.

There's a post in DIY ATM section, ( What to to do with left overs ) that describes what I've cobbled together.

Cheers.

Justin.

Hi,

I should clarify, when I say tracked, this means tracking the stars. In such short exposures the comet will not move that far as to need tracking on the comet, but just tracking the stars will be sufficient to bring out more detail in the comet tail which is relatively bright.

Cheers,

Justin.
