About this image

There was a high wall on the rooftop blocking the east, so had the telescope relocated to another corner in order to see the comet before dawn. After much planning the net went down, issues you would expect in remote observing. It came back just 10 minutes before the end of astronomical twilight, managed 20 shots with amazing results.

Really impressive! Ignore my comment on your other image. This one has the FoV included.

Superb image. How do you collimate the Quattro remotely?

Mazin Younis, 2022 Dec 23 - 14:48 UTC

Hi Alan, my setup is not fully robotic, I have trained a young man there to deal with polar alignment and collimation when necessary. It's not easy to run a fully robotic fast (cheap) Newtonian.

Hi Mazin, it sounds like the ideal solution and is definitely working looking at your images.
