Do astrophotography, they said.
It’ll be fun, they said.
Take pretty photos of comets, they said.

And once again #comet12p is #starlinked #spamlink #astrophotography #astrodon

Okay, here we go again on #comet12p. Now with auto-focus and guiding 😬

A single 5 minute snap of #comet12p with the 50mm lens at f/4.

I need to do more collimation, obvs, but it’s already a lot better than yesterday.

1 minute of #comet12p Pons-Brooks as of 5 minutes ago.

An hours worth of data on #comet12p done, now it’s time for C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). Rather a lot fainter, this is a single 5 minute exposure. Aiming to get 24 of these.

Finally a half decent set of #comet12p images. Hurray! Made the camera stare at it while I was making dinner.

You can see it has two tails, though the nickname seems far fetched. More πŸ€™ than 😈 tbh.

22 x 60 seconds.

Well I can see #comet12p okay tonight, but the spamlinking is continuous.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks getting photobombed by the International Space Station. And a bunch of spamlinks. And a piece of tumbling junk.

A single 30 second sub on #comet12p Pons-Brooks about half an hour ago.

Cleaned up after I got back home. The twilight is quite obvious; it was only 45 minutes after sunset. #comet12p #astrophotography #astronomy
