Here’s my take on #comet Tsuchinsan/Atlas… imaged from Chingford NE London on 19 October with my StellaMira 90mm EDT & ZWO 533MC camera. Once the comet had set I turned the scope to image the ‘Pac Man’ nebula NGC281 In Cassiopeia. #Astrophotography BBC Sky at Night Magazine

So I decided to go for the complete lap, & here’s the result of a 31.6 million second (give or take a few!) exposure😀. Apparently we did get some sunny days this year! The SolarCan #SolarCan

Amazing the difference a few hours can have… bottom image is the result of pointing the scope & camera at the Whirlpool Galaxy for 8 hours, the top picture after 21 hours shows much more detail Imaged from NE London over 1-3 nights, even with a bright moon. #astrophotography
