Nice set Steve, another cloudy day here but a few stars out now so going comet hunting.

Good luck with comet hunting.

I'm having guiding issues after the the mount fix .

[Davey-T]

I'm having camera disconnecting issues, think / hope it's a cable not the camera socket, only have to breath on it and it disconnects then even more annoying it won't reconnect without rebooting the laptop.

A blob of bluetac can help it keep in place.

[Davey-T]

Squirted some cleaner in the socket and found another cable, seems a bit better.

Getting 16 X 300secs of 21P GZ then having a look for C/2017 S3 PANSTARRS which is supposed to have brightened.

Trying to grab some O3 for M16 but its a bit hazy.

 

Hope your fix works.

[Davey-T]

Still working fingers crossed but comet is quite low and the sky is murky low down plus it looks to be brightening so will pack it in shortly.

Haven't been able to image M16 from home for a few years but a neighbours tree has recently been felled opening up my horizon a bit so may be able to catch it again now.
