Neowise with Cometracker

[tornado33]

Last night had a view of Neowise in a gap between trees. Windy, so used the old 6 inch f3.6 SN Meade Cometracker scope. 10 x 2 mins iso 800. EOS Ra camera. Off axis guided aligned on comet in IRIS finished in photoshop. Light pollution and stray light to contend with.

Scott,
Great image, well done!
(It was nice to see the ol' Meade 6" Cometseeker was used - I have one which is still in full working nick. After all these years it's good to see them still being appreciated)

Thanks all. Yep it works very nice visually with a good eyepiece too. Gorgeous wide angle views with a 16mm nagler. Scope is easy to keep clean with sealed optics though the lack of AR costing on the optical windows causes reflections of bright stars.

Very nice Scott. You got some really nice colour in this image.

Yes...good work Scott. Nice and smooth and detailed...always wanted a comet catcher.I remember when they were first advertised i looong time ago back when i got my orange C8.
Cheers

Yeah,
I don't know why they don't re-issue 6" f3.6 Schmidt-Newtonian CometSeeker. It punched well above its weight.
