High altitude haze here, can see brightest stars so I'll wait till the comet is abit higher, isnt the weather supposed to get better in the next day or 2 ??

I think its time for a new scope!
A man of your woodwork skills should easily be able to build one, surely?

Ah, you'd be surprised Bart...a 1/10th PV wave surface (need a few sheets of sandpaper) and plenty clear varnish should do the trick!

Finally got outside to have a go tonight. This is a full frame shot ie 2048x2048 with the ed80 while all oyher images were cropped. Had to do some very freaky curve adjusts to bring out the faint detail
