Jonk Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I didn't think I would be able to spot the comet tonight from where I am, and was going to travel to a better location in the early AM, however, I found a small gap from the front garden and observed with the bins for a while. Loved it! I grabbed the DSLR and 400mm lens (Canon 6D + 200mm with 2x extender), and took a few shots, in the 30 minute or so window I had. It's a shame I don't currently have a long FL scope set up, however I'm glad to have seen it and captured it for the record! Enjoy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey-T Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Clearly naked eye visible tonight even from my light polluted location. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Stunning. Just spent 45 minutes packing away my 12” and paraphernalia about 10 trips round the house in all. Every time I had to pause to look at the cometary vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
