Description

This year northern citizens hit the jackpot. Comet was circumpolar. As usual in my living location winter have bad habit - endless cloudy weeks. Because comet's brightness peak and moonless nights had to exactly at described weather, I decided traveling 700 km south for several days and try my luck. Funny choice: exchange cloudy place to extremely windy place with only AZ-GTi tracker))) Not easy-peasy trip, but I think it was worth it.

Finished work "was lying in the table" around month... yeahhh.....  looks like I'm a little bit slowpoke)))
