C/2023 A3 - what else! Peter Tickner 21 Oct 2024 02:46 UTC
I’ve been learning old skills to image this as neither of my piers in my rear garden (observatory and stand alone) have a Western horizon below 35 degrees and the front of my property only has a view that low from upstairs. End result needed 70 mm reftactor on an alt-az mount balanced in a bedroom out an open window manually aimed with camera set to take images fast enough to avoid star trails as it drifted through my field of view.  And it worked eventually although none of my software has been happy about stacking images where everything is drifting in the field of view.   Hence delay in posting anything!
