Astrophoto: Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks – 03/24

Processing Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks was harder than expected. I still like the result.

This was the third session using Stellarmate OS instead of Ubuntu/EKOS. For some reason I did not use guiding. – I can’ remember why. Possibly because I had some trouble switching from internal guiding to PHD2, but I am not sure. Since it was a comet session with short exposures, guiding was not mandatory anyway.

Session Analysis

I did only focus 1 time since the temperature was really constant and guiding was not activated. Nothing really special in this comet session.
