PanSTARRS,15 Dec

[Cosmic Geoff]

Here is an image captured EEVA style with my 102mm achro refractor (Startravel), ASI224MC camera and SLT goto mount.  This was a live stack of 21 frames, 3.6 seconds each.  I used "precise goto" to find the comet and was then able to see a likely object on the screen. A platesolve indoors later confirmed the fuzzy object marked was the comet.

Part of the open cluster NGC1528 also appears in the image.

Nice one Geoff to have captured the comet and NGC 1528. Mike

Thanks for sharing this photo. I would like to try to locate him, what number of Panstarrs is this?

[Mike JW]

It is Comet C/2017  T2 (Panstarrs).

Thanks Mike, I'm going to try as soon as the sky clears. The forecasts speak of 2/3 cloudy days but I hope that on Sunday the sky will clear something
