Title

BTW, here's another image from this morning (2024 Sep 30 UT) with an 80mm f2 lens and QHY128C CMOS (30 x 5 seconds) piggybacked on another scope. It shows the faint tail extending to about 9-degrees. Gisborne lies in that direction, hence the glow. My scope is cemented into the ground so I couldn't move locations
