Description

Another attempt for this Comet. My impression : it's getting dimmer : magn. 10 or so

But my place is far too bright for a decent and colorful image anyway at summertime.
I tried  enhancements using the LPR filter and also longer exposures.

C) GuideScope image :

Meade envisage S/W can acquire images during guiding at any time,
so I take them as orientation  to the main image.

The short focal length (240 mm) GuideScope plus mono cam seems to get better results
as the LX200 focal length (2000 mm) plus cooled color cam.

#### UPDATE  there seems to be  another comet on this GuidScope image #####

       straight up  from C/2017 K2. 
       it is not C/2020 K1 PanSTARRS !!!, currently also in Ophiuchus,
       but farer away : RA 18h3.4m, DE 14° 16' , compared to C/2017 K2 : RA 17h19.9m, DE 0°50'
