C/2020 f8 (SWAN) - 02/05/20

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Been a while since I posted anything from the solar system

Thought I'd give this a shot on Friday night/Saturday morning with a limited window of opportunity over my neighbour's roof...

Let's call this view a deliberate "north up"

Taken with my Skywatcher Quattro 200 + ZWO ASI1600MM.

Very nice ! Love the length of tail you got. My original plan was to use my 250mm F4 Newtonian but its been so long since I used it I forgot how to connect everything together !

[lazjen (Chris)]

Nicely done. What settings did you use for the ASI1600MM? Gain, exposure?

[Retrograde (Pete)]

Wow that's gorgeous Dunk. Great result!

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Thanks chaps

Was unity gain, 15 seconds per channel. If I knew then what I know now, I'd have used a colour camera

[lazjen (Chris)]

Thanks Dunk, and yes, I think it would be a bit easier with a colour camera.

Nice one Dunk! Yes LRGB is hard with comets.

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Cheers Kevin

DSLR is sounding more appealing if I see another comet

May the 'North' be with you

Thats a very good Image, Dunk, nice fine details & a clean image to-boot
