Description

Quickly switching out the RASA 11 and the Samyang 135mm Piggybacked  for the C14  Hyperstar, it was interesting to see comet 62P and its changes.  The last imaging session showed the comet's apparent motion nearly stopped as it underwent change in retrograde motion, as viewed from earth.  Now the comet has resumed motion, albeit slowly, and has lost some of it's apparent size of coma from the earth.  No messier objects here, however a number of NGC galaxies  present.
