Hi stargazer 33 supernova 74 here how ironic I’m thinking of veiwing this comet tonight quite bright regarding comets are concerned when would you say the best time is to veiw and is it in Auriga!? Or as I’ve heard from an Astro friend it was just below the moon around 10:30 last night and what kind of kit are you useing

Hi, I'm not too sure where the comet is at the moment. I run all my imaging through a laptop, using Stellarium, Stellarium Scope, APT, PHD2 and either Sharpcap or Firecapture. I just search on the objects name in Stellarium and slew to wherever it is.
At the moment I have got a Celestron x0.63 FR on my C9.25 giving a focal length of 1480mm and using either my modified Canon 1100D or my Zwo ASI385 osc.
I'm still struggling to get everything working together; sometimes APT will platesolve, sometimes it won't; sometimes Firecapture/Sharpcap will work, sometimes they freeze! I think I need to get a faster laptop!
Sorry I can't be of any more help.
