Hallo South guys!

Before 2 days there was very good weather in Czech Republic. I took first image with my Skywatcher 254/1200 without guidering. It was my first light!

Comet is beautiful!

Is it LONEOS C/2007 F1??? I am hoping to see it this weekend, but so far it is solid clouds and rain.... Fingers crossed for some clarity!

Very nice image - another mini-tail comet....

very nice colors.
it is interesting to see that the blueish interpretation is en voug in don under obviously. the europeans like more the green...
well - different countires, differnt athmosphere, different taste.
so what - what matters is the result - and yours is beautiful!
