[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 740328, member: 48483"] I spent 3 nights shooting the comet. I could have gone out 5 nights as I was blessed with unusually favorable weather for July. 1st night: D750 + Sigma 150-600mm C lens. Using a Skywatcher AZ-GTi mount to track the comet with 40 second exposures. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342898._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]342899._xfImport[/ATTACH] 2nd night: I started with same setup, but with a 150mm square light pollution filter attached. Had a mechanical issue with the extra weight on the Skywatcher mount and had to stop. I got 1 exposure worth processing before going to backup plan. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342900._xfImport[/ATTACH] Backup plan was D7000 with Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art lens on tripod for landscapes. I was going to do this anyway alongside the tracked telephoto photos. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342901._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]342902._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]342903._xfImport[/ATTACH] 3rd night, I had repaired my problem with the tracking mount. I went more experimental. D750 + 24-120mm f/4 with 2 different zoom settings. Then changed to the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Art and went to tripod. [ATTACH=CONFIG]342904._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]342905._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]342906._xfImport[/ATTACH] I was also photobombed by what I later determined was the 2nd stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that launched Crew Dragon Demo 2 to the ISS. That was an interesting discovery using Heavens-Above website.
