Description

This image is a stack of 14 x 1 minute unguided subs taken with my Canon 600D (T3i) + Nikkor ED180 lens mounted directly on to my NEQ6 mount. I wanted to try a larger field of view to get more of the comet's tail, but with the camera directly mounted there is no option to attach a guide scope and guide camera. I think that the mount tracked very well in very gusty conditions.

Vers B has a slight contrast adjustment to try show the tail a bit better
