Thanks Martin. I hope to see this thing through binoculars. My scope and camera combo are only good for 1/2 degree FOV so may not work well for this comet. Cheers from California. “SUBSCRIBED”
Thanks for the heads up Martin. Do you have any advice for someone having to use a mono camera? I was going to try 20 second exposures using RGB filters and try my best to stack them.
Martin, do you plan to track the comet with custom tracking in EQMOD or track it with comet tracking in PHD 2? if you do, can you show us? thanks in advance...
@@richardmattas4003 Hi again Richard. Ok, I will be tracking the comet. I now know how to do this. I will try to do a short video on this in the next day or two.
Thanks Martin for the video. Do you plan to image the comet with any filters? Here in central US I'll be doing test imaging from a B8 sky in preparation for 2 nights of imaging in late January from B1 skies.
I will be using an unmodified DSLR on one rig, and a mono cooled Astro camera on another rig with R G B filters. Lucky you! Wish I was going to B1 skies!!!
Excellent!! Thank you so much!
Clear and concise instructions as always. Thanks a lot Martin
Thanks Graham.
thanks Martin! Good luck!
Thanks for your vid Martin great info!
Great instructions, Martin. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video. It's really nice to kick of the new year with such a special event.
cool, thanks!

Thanks Martyn! Hope you get a good view. Let me know. Clear skies.
Thank you Martin. I had my Vespera smart telescope out a few nights ago imagining the comet-a civilization level event

Sounds reasonable. Will be a bit harder to process I imagine. I would shoot one sub per filter on R then G then B, then repeat.

Hi Richard. It’s something I am looking into. If I decide to do either of those things I will endeavour to share it.
@@martinsastrophotography thanks Martin!

Hi again. I just made a video…just for you…on how to track the comet!!! Hope it’s helpful. Happy comet hunting.
@@martinsastrophotography Thank you! Cheers and Clear Skies!
Hi I'm not into astronomy per se but am an amateur photographer, is there an app I can use on my phone to find it with my 600mm lens ?

Any advise for people using phones trying to capture this ?
Not really. You might see a bright smudge. It’s going to be a real challenge with a phone. good luck!!
Unfortunately won't be able to see it due to clouds
