Nice and clear this morning here! with only one long cloud across the sky and you can guess where it sat...right over the comet. Had to wait 1/2hr before the comet was visible. Could see it easily with the 10x50s thou I couldn`t see the ion tail. I reckon it would be mag 5 or slightly dimmer.
Setup the scope and managed 11 shots at 200 seconds before the sky became too bright. Seeing was very poor but very transparent.
Here is a approx 70% crop from one frame, totally unprocessed and no dark frame subtracted..Shall look nice when I combine them all..
cheers Gary
