I don't normally look this relaxed when preparing to image a bright, naked-eye comet!

Surprised to see the Comet Section Director requiring safety netting….

I've finally processed the images from that setup and stitched them together as a mosaic here. The AM-3/RedCat combination is a really nice, portable wide-field combination.
