Comet C/2014 R1 (Borisov) and supernova SN2014dt in M61

[cometcatcher]

I totally suck at framing these things! Another comet near another supernova. Dawn light interfering. It was only 15 degrees up.

Another good one, Kevin.

If only they gave out comet badges for each one that you photograph.
So, is it comet's or satellites that's the new trainspotting ????

kind regards, Alan
..where's my anorak....

I need to keep a comet list of all that I've observed / imaged. I used to but have become lazy with the finer details these days.

Another interesting conjunction Kevin! :thumbsup:

Are you an early riser ???:question:
Or just can't sleep, cause you take a lot of early morning images.

Make feel a bit slack really.


Cheers,

Justin.

I have trouble sleeping at night Justin. I get restless leg syndrome. I feel like a zombie at the scope, but it's better than rolling and tossing in bed. Then I tend to binge sleep to make up for it. I hate RLS.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Yep!

I used to have the same problem, still have the occasional restless night.

I found magnesium and 30 minutes on the exercise bike every night has helped.:)
Of course everyone is different.

Cheers,

Justin.

I've been taking 500mg of magnesium a day for the last few months. I think it has helped with the headaches, but not the legs. I also walk for half an hour a day, unless I'm mowing or pruning the jungle. I have other multiple problems which contribute to being restless. I'm just broken.

At least you don't fall asleep AT the scope, Kevin! Several times over the years I have looked up and realised I had been happily Kipping in my scope chair for an hour or so, or I have nodded off and woken as my eyeball presses against the eyepiece!:zzz2::zzz2::zzz2:

Nice catch Kevin. :)
I woke up at my puter outside one night/morning with a damn cobweb from my specs to the screen. :(

:rofl:
That needs a cartoon !

[cometcatcher]

No, actually I have a bed beside the scope and have a little lay down while shooting. One night I woke to an unintentional 30 minute sub!



I have a cousin that woudl have freaked lol.
