Description

Comet C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) Tracks up the Ridge of Down's Mtn, 2023-08-26.  58 x 20 second exposures were stacked together on brightening comet Nishimura.  I aimed the scope on the Down's Mtn ridgeline prior to the comet rising and tracked the area of the comet for each of the 20 second exposures. As twilight became excessive, ending my exposure limit, the comet had risen a little over the 20 degrees altitude thusly exceeding the 18 degree altitude of the 9764ft peak of  the Mountain.  Comet P1 Nishimura has brightened significantly since my early days of imaging.
