Next comet

I tried one more time with Comet Lemmon last night, and it seems the window has passed to get anything better than what I got two nights ago. The SeeStar is going back in its case to await the next comet. I did two DSOs last night after the comet set just to explore new capabilities. The M31 Andromeda image is a cropped mosaic of stacked 4K images, and the other one is a cropped 4K image of M81 Bode's Galaxy. I don't think they are any better than what I got last year shot at the native resolution. I have concluded that the SeeStar is an easy-to-use telescope for the occasional comet. I have some more advanced telescope equipment that, to be honest, I really haven't taken the time to learn how to use. When deciding on how to spend my golden years, they are more likely to be spent in a greenhouse in the daylight rather than fumbling around in the dark and cold.
