This is my 1st Comet image, the seeing was not so good on the night and the scope tracking was not good, it seems with 6 months without using the scope the grease on the RA and DEC gears had dried and hardened it was very noisy and tracking was rough, so I have just finished a regrease of all RA and DEC gears and now it runs smooth and quiet again.
