Hi

After 2 tries yesterday the weather was very kind and the sky at the horizon open up



and the gear the good old never fail



Assisting gear:

Canon 550D not modded

Canon 400mm f/5.6 L focus at infinity

China made intervalometer set to trip shutter every 20 sec for one hour from sunset!

Mini Tower slew and align to the Sun

Comet Data updated into the Hand Controller 8401

Then using the hand controler slew to Comet L4 PANSTARRS

At sunset start the intervalometer and wait for camera to finish.
