20251025 Comet C/2025 A6 (LEMMON)

Finally got a clear night.

Armed with my Canon 18x50 IS, I got the comet without problem.

Finishing my quick dinner, pulled out my EQ mount and placed it on the pier, no time to do polar alignment again.

Started some 60s exposure with my Canon 6D.  This is a newly acquired camera after selling my DIY modified Canon 450D, guess what, it covered more than half of the cost of the 6D and this is my first full frame DSLR.

Canon 200mm f2.8 wide open:

Will process it later, now the same setup was slewed to M31 for some test shots.  I won't do long focal length stuff, an old full frame DSLR should do the job quite well in the cold Scottish winter.
