Comet C/2013 US10 Catalina on 11/9/2015


This is my 1st Comet image, the seeing was not so good on the night and the scope tracking was not good, it seems with 6 months without using the scope the grease on the RA and DEC gears had dried and hardened it was very noisy and tracking was rough, so I have just finished a regrease of all RA and DEC gears and now it runs smooth and quiet again.

2 x 120sec subs unguided at iso 1600

12" Meade LX200 f6.3 (alt/az setup with De-rotator, No guiding)
