Comet Swan this Morning. Taken from home with my usual set up of 12 inch Dobscope, tracking platform and ASI Camera. Looking forward to following it over the next couple of weeks, before it heads into the northern sky.

Nice capture, Richard!

I'm keen to have a crack at this little comet from home too. Now if only the clouds and alarm clock would be nice to me...

Hi Alex,

A good up to date finder chart is very useful. Comets always suffer from City lights. Pity I can’t travel to a dark sky site at the moment.
