Excellent pic of the comet! I took a similar one, but with way more background noise since I wasn't in anywhere near a dark sky as you got there. Did you use a tracking mount or similar? I noticed it was 10s, so perhaps at 85 mm no significant star trails would be visible in that short exposure. I concede however, that nothing is going to come close to that sharpness wide open!!
Perhaps someday (If I wish upon a star, lol). --R On Tue, Aug 24, 2021 at 5:54 PM Bill <anotherdrunken...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 8/24/2021 4:48 PM, Gonz wrote: > > OK wow, that's way too big for an 85!!
