  • Thanks!

    I was really lucky to get this image. Lucky because I had a clear night. I havent been able to get out and take any deep space images in the past 2 months because the weather here has been so bad. Cold and cloudy....really getting tired of it!

  • Why did it stop and change direction?

  • @breakfastmachine1000

    I just reversed the frames in the video so the comet was in the same place when I did the zoom in. It didn't change directions in the sky when capturing :)

see all

    I was out that night, trying to find Hartley by the double cluster, but I was too newb to find it, lol. My scope has too much focal length for a lot of things.
