Description

Back to my old days of comet hunting. Tonight ( 12-11-18; 2000-2030hrs) I finally found Comet 46P/Wirtanen in Taurus with help from good friend Mike in Simi. I discovered long exposures or relying on SGP when looking for comets is difficult. I used several work arounds and decided a simple "inverse" image was best. Its hard to say what the mag is tonight, but I would guess Mag 9 to 10 under average skies.

I didnt bother with an LRGB set up to save time. This is Lum only.
