| Comments: | ..starting at 7:15 p.m. 12/17/18 showing the motion of Comet 46P/Wirtanen. It's made from 10-second exposures as my 12-1/2" F/4.6 Newtonian telescope tracked the moving comet. I made 640 back to back 10-second exposures with an ASI071 astronomical camera set to 1920 X 1080. The time span, which is compressed to around 20 seconds here, covers about 2 hours. Guided via a Lodestar X2 autoguider camera on a 102mm F/6.8 William Optics refractor.
