Went outside this morning and grabbed this. High cloud and LP did not help, but better than nothing. Tail just visible averted through 8" and hints to its direction even in 7x50s. Coma overexposed to better show the tail.
C6 Hyperstar and QHY183C, this was first light for the ol' C6 at f/2.

Animated GIF is here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aRsOsW389pxLNCi0V1xAuRKI9x xHLcA2)


Edit: Colour balance adjusted slightly

Great shot, was planning to have a look this week, but the weather is not looking great. Looks like its brightening a bit.

Great video, I thought gee that's a lot of Satellites passing by, before I realised its a repeating GIF. :thumbsup:

Thanks guys.

Yes there were a lot of satellites. Had the sequence been longer, there would have been more sats captured too, same density. Saw a musk train too. Getting crowded up there :sadeyes:
