I tried this morning to get some close and personal pics with the 10"RC. I couldn't find the comet in the FOV of the ST11k. Have you found the comet elements to be accurate? When you slew the PMX to the comet, is it centered in the FOV?
I had the right star field, just no comet. Nothing even diffuse. Nothing moving through the field.
Cheers

What I did Stuart as I did not have an ephemeris was take a widefield DSLR shot to show where it was, note a nearby star asterism, look that up in the Sky X and then slew to that and then take focus shots nad move around using the joystick until I picked it up.
That was with a TEC110FL at 616mm focal length and an ML8300 camera. Kind of close up as well. It should be near the South Celestial Pole around now I would imagine. Below it.
Greg.
