Description

Capture of Neowise at 141.7 m Kms from earth as it heads back out into deep space. While capturing using the ES ED102, also had my Canon 6D and 200mm running in the background with shorter exposures for a widefield view. Very happy to have picked up the blue ion tail separately from the dust tail.

Although understand it is uncommon, also wanted to check out the Bin 2 x 2 possibility using this ASI294MC Pro. So did 60s x 20subs at Bin 2x2 and 120s x 30subs at Bin 1x1 (no bin) and found the signal significantly enhanced when adding the Bin 2x2. Will read more about the binning given some are doing this with this camera although it is recommended to Bin 1x1 by ZWO.

Very happy to have had clear skies for almost all of the capture time for my likely last shoot of this comet.
