Hello all
Went to a mates new observing site at Speers Pt, a darker area then my place, with my portable rig, was surprised to see Comet Boattini bright in the finderscope, bodering on naked eye visibility. proceeded to take this pic of it
8x2 mins ISO800. Baader MPCC coma corrector. The ironically named 6 inch Meade Cometracker SN was the scope used. No filters. Modded 350D. Can see a faint extension running straight up.
Hand guided with Q guider cam and 80mm f5 guidescope
The astro rig all fits into the folks tiny 3 door Nissan Micra
