Hi everyone, Glenn here. Welcome back to the channel. I'm going to hopefully tonight finally get some images of the green Comment that everybody else has been imaging and talking about. I need to join the party. I'm going to be using my new CM26 mount. I'm going to use my trusty Z61 and my 2600 mm Pro camera. I'm looking to shoot RGB. So I'm going to get this set up in the garden ready for tonight. So hopefully you'll join me. My name is Glenn. You're watching AstroBloak. You You You You You I'm going to be doing a video on the CM26. I really like it. I think in hindsight I wish I'd gone for the sturdy a tripod. I think if anything let's Down it is the tripod. It's okay. That's hold it and it does keep it nice and light. I can use it all in one. Like pick it all up as one unit. But a sturdy tripod might improve things a little bit. I do find powder alignment a bit awkward now. I don't particularly like the locking mechanism on the detonation and on the RRA. You get yourself powder alignment. When you try and tighten them up it moves it. When I first used it the guiding was obviously bringing it around between 0.9 and 1.2 and I was thinking oh no this is not going to tool. I know I can get better guiding out of it. But since then I've got it back down. I've got it down to about 0.6. I think it will be better than that. I've learnt everything about the mount and got everything working as it should. I think I'll be able to sort it out. I've done pect training with it through the handset and it's been quite good. I didn't make any major differences to the numbers but something I definitely want to go into a bit deeper. I don't want to talk about a few things. I don't like the fact that I'm plugged into the handset. You have to plug through the handset. You can't plug into the mount to control it as far as I'm aware. It has got Wi-Fi so I'm going to look at connecting via the Wi-Fi and maybe control it through that. At the moment I'm using it all through my Mealy PC up here and the Puckers has power box of on. I may be able to control it remotely. I don't like all these extra wires hanging down and this hanging down. I'd rather get rid of all this. I think I can. I just need to look into it. As I've only had the mount a little while, I've only had it out a few times and I've been so busy with all my other projects that this is something I need to get to. I will definitely do that and do a nice bit of coverage on it because it's a really nice mount. One of the really surprising things with this mount is how quiet it is. I know some people worry about using equatorial mounts in their backyard because of the wind of the motors and I know some sky watcher mounts can be quite noisy. I've got an AZ-GTI and that thing sounds like a coffee grinder when it's sluing. This thing is near silent so really nice piece of kit. I'm just going to make sure things plugged in and then we're ready to try and capture some comet pictures later. Okay, so really game well. I had a few problems with Stellarium. I haven't used it for quite a long time. What used to happen was there's a link in Neenah and you can actually click import the coordinates that you've got set on your Stellarium and it'll come into Neenah and frame up the target. I tried to do that with this comet but for some reason it wasn't working. I could have spent a long time battling with it but I thought, do you know what? Just going to leave it. I just made a note of the coordinates punched a min manually on the framing tab. It's given me that. I worked out looking at it for a while because see the direction it was moving in so I've put it slightly to the left of the frame and it's going rather well. It's tracking it nicely. I was getting photobombed by Elon Musk at the beginning of the session with a few satellites flying through everything but no, the subs are looking quite nice. It'll be there 90 seconds subs. I'm taking RGB so I'm going to stack them. I've been looking at some different techniques for stacking and I saw a really good video actually by Alaskan Astro. I really liked his image and I liked the process he was going through. He used Pixine and I think I'm going to follow his process. I'll put a link in my description to his video so you might want to check it out. I'm really excited that I'm actually finally getting this target. I missed nearby's terrible really. I just at the time I was busy with other things and I wasn't sure how to take a comet picture. This is the first one I've ever taken so I mean it's good that I'm actually getting on it before it disappears for another 50,000 years. I think the last time it came by was the Stone Age. It's quite mind-blowing. Anyway I'm going to get e-subs rolling and then we'll have a look at the process for editing it and getting a final picture. Hopefully I'll get a nice one. I'm using my monocamera so I'm taking 90 seconds of RGB and I'm really hoping it's going to come out. Alright, let's get back to it. you
