About this image

The diminuative S50 makes an ideal holiday scope. Even more so if you have limited time before a comet sets to the West.

Managed to see this marvelous comet by naked eye, then 10x50 binoculars. Then absoluted amazed how the S50 soaked it up.

Note to self. Annoyingly I did not enable saving of the sub frames. I would like to have been able to post process this image to stack on the coma. But as is stands this image, stack live on the starfield is still pretty detailed.

Once home i used Astroart9 to register, add grid and adjust visualisation.

Most gratifying.
