Comet with a near-parabolic orbit, which was discovered by the ATLAS survey on December 28, 2019. It is possible the comet may be visible to the naked eye sometime in April or May 2020. It will reach its nearest point to Earth on May 23 and come to perihelion (closest to the Sun) on May 31.

I’ve took photos of the comet for the first time in my life. I admit that stacking and processing the comet is quite a demanding topic, I’m testing different processing options present. Well, it was easier for me to make this timelaps than a good stack, which I still have to work on.

Processing:

  • RawTherapee 5.6,
  • KdeNlive 19.12.3.
  • Lights – 127 x 1600 ISO, 180[s]

SynScan GOTO controller – trouble with buttons

SynScan GOTO controller – trouble with buttons: At some point while using the controller, I noticed that the ESC button wasn’t always working. I lived with it, but after a while, the left Ra button also started acting up and wouldn’t always connect. A red flag went up in my head – something needed to be done. It’s worth noting that the problems appeared right after the warranty period ended… coincidence?
