#Astronomy #Astrophotography #NightSky #moon Tried to take some more pictures of Comet C 2022 E3 (ZTF) tonight, but this time with the telescope. Couldn’t do it. The camera ends up hitting the RA knob, stopping the telescope from going more than 68 degrees. I needed to go a little more than 69 degrees. I’ll try again on February 10. On that night the comet will be slightly above and to the left of Mars & there will be no bright moon light till after 11pm. But the night wasn’t a total lost. 1/ 2

Took a few pictures of our moon, currently at 88.7% illumination (Waxing Gibbous). Usually I take about 10 – 15 pictures of our moon due to the fact that the turbulence in our atmosphere will make some of the pictures look blurry and a few others will have a clear and sharp look. Tonight, using the live view on the camera, there was almost no turbulence blurry the image. Took five pictures and all five came out clear. Exposure time was 1/60 second with an ISO of 100. 2/2
