Description

I had a struggle to get this image of the comet, as the bright summer sky, and the position of the comet, low on the Western horizon near the setting sun made it hard to place it on the sensor. However, by setting up a temporary rig giving me clearance over the roof, and using hitherto mysterious (to me) routines in my mount, I was able to locate the comet last night and capture 63 x 10 sec frames between clouds and satellite trails, at f2 with the RASA.
