Popular Post Bassinghamobservatory Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2020 Here is my image of this 10th mag comet that may brighten to around 8th magnitude by April. It is near the double cluster for the next week or so. The cluster in the top left of my shot is NGC957. Hoping to get a bit wider image with the dslr when it is next clear 🤞.

Bottletopburly Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Nice work, I noticed in carte du ciel it will let you track the comet if you click on the comet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinghamobservatory Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks for your comments. The angular movement of the comet is fairly slow at the moment. My image was just stacked on the stars. I have tried on other comets to use CDC to track the drift but found it to be difficult and time consuming. Any tips welcome.
