Comet Leonos 2007F1 with 10 inch scope
Hi all
Got unexpectedly clear weather early this evening despite bad weather being forecast, so loaded this comets orbit into the Argo Navis, and started imaging as soon as it was dark, but the comet started going behind bushes not long afterwards so only a narrow window of opportunity. Got a nice tail.
3x2 mins ISO200, Hutech Modded 350D. uv/ir filter, MPCC coma corrector. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, off axis hand guided.
Comet would be bright enough to guide on with a decent sized guidescope, but with off axis systems can only guide on stars. Comet is moving fairly quickly.
