  1. Hi, comet 2020 R4 Atlas imaged in the early hours of the 2nd about 2-15 am from my backyard observatory. Conditions where  poor , it is only  a 80s exposure.[ Thanks to Paul M for pointing out there is a faint fuzzy in the pic witch i have highlighted]. I thought it might be some sort of a reflection.

    Imaging rig, OOUK ODK12

    Camera, A A 294C Protec..Baader Moon & Skyglow filter

    Mount, Ioptron Cem120ec.

  2. Hi Paul, i managed to image  R4 in the early hours of the 2nd but my sky was poor , also showing  UGC08630. I wasn't sure what it was until i read your post👍,thanks for pointing it out. I use two rigs, ,one for close up with my ODK12.  and the other for a wider field of view a STAR71 pigybacked but i failed to get Palomar in the shot.

    Nice one Bob, I've been trying to image C/2021 A1 (Leonard) lurking up around Ursa Major but decidedly dim.

    Hi Dave, thanks for looking. Yes, i have also had a go at Leonard a week or so ago but not much showing through among the stars then so decided to leave it for a  couple of weeks.

  5. Decided to image the moon yesterday afternoon for first time in ages before starting deepsky.[witch turned out hopeless in the end].

    Best 25% of around 800 frs stacked in AutoStakkert,  ICE for stitching, Reg6 and Photoshop for sharpening and color. Capture software, Sharp Cap pro.

    OOUK OD12" ...A A 294C ProTec ..IOPTRON CEM120EC Mount.
