Aborted Holmes shoot

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Last night I had the thing in my sights, all set up ready for some widefield snapping of the comet which has become huge. I had the guiding sorted, the dew heaters on, focus nailed (for once) and the clouds turned up after one frame.

Don't you just love it when that happens?

almost as good as my night.

Find the comet under a stunning sky. Power up the PC. get that camera on it. the camera doesn't come up in K3. Restart. Same again. Look up. .

It's an imager's life.

At least you got one frame, and a fine one at that.

Like that one very much,Kapitan. I think it's the best illustration yet of the humongous scale of the thing!
