Wow!! I actually posted an image!
I'd like to get into how I succeeded in this, after months of failure, but I can't.
If it keeps on working, please excuse the backlog of images you will (hopefully see) in the coming days.
It may be the support and offers of help from a great bunch of fellow astronomers that got the wheels turning again.
Thanks guys! I almost gave up!

Re: Comet Catalina US10 still showing off
Nice capture Bill! I've yet to try my hand at a comet...seems likes a doubly hard challenge over the more steady/fixed type targets.

Re: Comet Catalina US10 still showing off
Thanks for the kind words guys.
I wish I could tell you Ron, that this way of imaging takes the same skill that your images take to acquire!
The only real skill here is not breaking my neck carrying the equipment out to the yard! So far, so good.
Keep up your good work!
