Comet C/2007 W1 (Boattini)

G'day Guy's,

Prompted by Outbackmanyep in this thread I quickly put a few commands in last night's script to grab a few shots of this comet between NGC's and see what it looks like.

I only asked it to take 10 x 30 seconds, and kept only 7 x 30 seconds.

I think I'll do some more tonight, perhaps a bit longer exposure times, depends on guide star availability. I really need to re-train my PEC, PE is currently causing significant loss of images for me, and that's very un-usual. If I fix that I could go back up to 60sec unguided.

Roger.
