Comet Lemmon visits NGC 55
Hi All,
I tried to get Lemmon and NGC55 yesterday but had a few issues:
1) Forgotten counterweight shaft for my EQ5
2) Flat battery in the red-dot finder
3) bumped tripod after polar alignment (twice!)
4) Objects too low in the sky in the brown "mud"
Anyhow here is a mediocre image for the historic record of the event. I hoped that the tail would actually go over the galaxy but it was just a few arcminutes away.
Stellarvue 80mm, f/6, Sony NEX5N, 3x30 sec @ ISO 3200
Cheers,
Alex
