Description

While the Samyang 135mm piggybacked to obtain the conjunction of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks with M31 (see here for results), the main scope concentrated on the brightening comet as seen in this image.  The RASA 8 has performed flawlessly ever since a colleague suggested I tweak the collimation screws in the frontal optical elements in order to correct a slight missalignment.
