About this image

I am experimenting with a more permanent setup for my telescope in southern Morocco. Will be controlling it remotely from Manchester soon.

Lots of clear nights, many dark hours, Bortle 3/4, Lat 30..

The comet hasnt moved noticeably in this 20 min total exposure which meant I didnt need to track it in stacking.
