[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 818269, member: 26505"] Ok, so I need to retract my previous statement. I pulled up Stellarium to compare the star fields. When I zoom in on Hamal in my image and did some star-hopping, I picked up a very faint smudge where the comet is located. I had been looking on the wrong side of Hamal for some reason. I'll give it a shot again tonight if I have clear skies. I won't get a great image, but that is ok. I have always been fond of searching for dim-fuzzy objects. I don't have a go-to scope. I have to take a wide-field image, find the object, slew it to the center of the fov and then change to a lens with a smaller fov. 🙄 [/QUOTE]
