Comet Iwamoto is quite well placed for us, around Dec 1 deg, transiting around midnight. I got some more exposure on it last night, ended up with 54x2min subs with the f/4 newt and Atik 420, binned 2x2, luminance only.
The mag 6 star in the frame is a little distracting, but luckily Iwamoto was tracking away from it....

Thanks Dave - conditions were nice last night, and focusing with the motorized Moonlite and Sequence Generator Pro is a joy.... :)

Another cute little fella.

I'd like to try for it but very hazy here, doubt I could image past mag 10 at the moment.
