G'day.
Thought might as well get on this wagon and ride it till the wheels fall off :lol:
Comet 168/P Hergenrother in Pegasus imaged under dark skies.
It was a great test for my new to me SW ED80 PRO and it was not long after the scopes first light.

30 sec subs with darks and flats applied.

thanks everyone. I spent about 4 hrs doing some aligning and waiting for the odd cloud to go past prior to taking these images. Then the breeze dropped and dew set in but the dew shield on the ED 80 was doing a great job.
Happy to get a little reward after thinking i was going crazy with alignment :screwy::lol:
