Toot

Last night we went down to Scarborough Beach, and hunted for C/2024 G3 Atlas - the current brightest comet.

It was still to close to the sun to see in the glare, but a bit after sunset my Dwarf3 had just enough dark to calibrate, and picked it up just 1 degree above the horizon!

The telescope had just enough time to snap 10 frames and stack them.
