Tuttles ion tail and coma
Hi all
Had a brilliant night for imaging last night.
Got Comet Tuttle, now well placed for southern observers
7x2mins ISO1600. Houghys cooled Canon 350d DSLR, sensor temp round 7 degrees C. 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, off axis hand guided on a guidestar, images aligned on comet before stacking. Theres a hint of a shell of material on opposite side from the tail.
Comet was seen easily in the viewfinder
