Orion 80ED watching for Comet 45P_Honda_Mrkos_Pajdukasova at Chalet de l'Anglettaz, Villaz, France (01/01/2017)

Description

On January 01/01/2017, the weather was exceptionaly good and xe had no snow so I could climb to Chalet de l'Anglettaz (1200m) to take pictures of Comet 45P_Honda_Mrkos_Pajdukasova (although the road is usually closed at that time of year) . The picture shows my Orion 80ED equiped with EOS450D and mounted on an old EQ3 (light) mount, enough to take pictures of the comet which was quite low on the Horizon. This place is a nice belvedere above the city of Annecy and its lake (which you can guess: it is the place where there is noo light). Moon and Venus, close together, were also present.
