Hi,

Great image of the Comet.

How high is it in your night Sky? Here in Mexico barely at maybe 15° over horizon if I remember well. No chance to get into the telescope.

Those new ones are great particularly the comet. I ended up getting frustrated with Pixinsight making everything too green so I did catch the comet but just finished it in B&W.

Absolutely fabulous images, I am writing all this down as you are such a good teacher :bow :bow :bow

I saw Comet Pons/Brooks on Wednesday for 1min 30secs, it is amazing how fast my SeeStar attracts clouds, even faster than my Solar telescope :(
