Default Let's Photograph Comet 46P Wirtanen

Shot early this morning after the Moon went down, 2-minute exposure
with a Canon 7D on a 4" refractor (Stellarvue 102A). Image is 1° on a
side.


Very nice!

I made this stack of five exposures with a Canon 5D Mk IV on the 11th
https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/31330206277. I also used a 4"
refractor, a Tak FSQ-106. I have been clouded out since that night.
Tonight will be clear and it is likely my last shot at the comet as
holiday social obligations and more cloudy weather intrude on my time.
With a bright moon, I'm not expecting anything great tonight, but we
gotta try, right?
