Comet Lovejoy using a StarAdventurer mount (in Normandy 14 Jan 2015 01:00)

[The Thing]

Canon 1100Da, Pentax 50mm SMC f4, StarAdventurer (unguided).  Single frame, 60s at ISO1600.

As with the Orion shot I would have taken more shots but I was trying to use APT in client/server synched exposures mode where it runs two or more cameras. APT crashed and now won't start. Worked fine indoors earlier.

Looking good.  Nice colour in the comet!

Thanks Mark, there's a lot there for a single sub including the tail. This is a nice sharp lens, that's the full frame somewhat reduced.

Another nice one

I think I need a Star Adventurer
