Excellent drawing. Me? The comet and the galaxy were blow you away cool with my C8 and Mallincam Xtreme. In a buddy's 15-inch Dobbie? Not so much. The comet was considerably dimmer than I expected. OTOH, it was awful humid and hazy...

Thanks! I did notice last night that 168/P has dimmed considerably over the last few nights, and it's just a "shadow" of what it was last Sunday. When did you guys observe it in the 15"? Also, can you post the mallincam image?

Here is the little feller on Saturday the 13th with my good old C8, Celeste, and the Mallincam Xtreme at f/4 and 14 seconds...

...in the Xtreme. But in the 15-inch Dobbie next door? Not so much... :-(
