Re: Comet Tuttle - anyone seen it or have pics yet?

Hi

with my telescope I unscrew and remove the eyepiece holder and replace it with a T2 adaptor to fit the camera to the scope. I have the scope on an equatorial mount so I can track the stars accross the sky, take long exposures and not get star trails. The only problem with Tuttle is dont use too lang an exposure or you'll get a comet trail
I stack images if needed in photoshop and then remove light pollution.
