Description

This is another attempt on comet C/2021 (A1) Leonard on the 29th Dec (2 days later). Unfortunately I had technical issues with a solder on the wiring from the 12V supply to the NEQPro6 mount coming apart which put an early end to this imaging session. So while I didn’t collect any luminescence data (broad spectrum RGB), I did manage to get 4 minutes of data on each of the Red, Green and Blue filters individually, which was enough to generate a reasonable image. I love the stars shining through the dust tail.

Still to process data collected the previous night on the 28th Dec, which should be a cracker !
