Hoegaarden Astronomy & Photography
The 120mm Esprit has been out of a job for too many months! It’s about time to mount the scope side-by-side with the C14 on the GM2000.
Combined weight of bth scopes & accessories would be around 40kg, which is still below the photographic load capacity of 50kg.
This little comet now roams the constellation Virgo, at a modest brightness of m10.5
It was discovered only last January, by both Tsuchinshan and the ATLAS facility in South Africa.
There is some excitement, as the comet has the potential to become naked-eye later this year. Perihelion is late September.
Imaged for 30x60s C14 F7 ASI2600MM monochrome.
SQM was 20.40 but later that night increased to 20.70!
