Description

Initial experiments with AP. I got lucky. This is pre-guiding, pre- focal reducer, pre- polar alignement knowledge. I was playing with my new T-adapter and my Pentax. I shot a few nebulas then remember the comet. I did not have a finder chart so I just browsed the are I knew it should be and got lucky. Obvious my image quality is lacking. The stars are trailing even at 30sec. The ISO was 12800 and it was not shot with RAW. But it gave me enough of the cool factor to push myself deeper into AP. I will be ready for the new Lovejoy comet in the new year!
