Description

After a bit of fiddling with the mount and focuser a clear sky beckoned even if it was a bit breezy.
I didn't fancy doing M81/M82 yet again so went for a fairly obscure magnitude 14 comet mainly as it was in a decent spot!
I haven't done much comet processing before so it's not as if I don't need the practice.....
Tried out the PHD2 comet tracking for the first time as I was using 120s LRGB subs - seems to do what it says on the tin!
Not a spectacular image but I wasn't expecting to see any sign of a tail at all so I'm happy enough
13x 120s L
7x 120s each RGB
all binned 1x1, gain15, -15degC
