Replying to @andyuk71
@andyuk71 @c2seven @asteroidbelter First attempt at this nice target, was also my first go at 10' subs but unfortunately cloud plagued my session so it has some artifacts and a bit noisy.

I made a little film with Netflix on the science of Don't Look Up - on the threat from Asteroids and Comets and, equally worryingly I think, on the threat to our civilisation from our increasing cultural vacuity! youtube.com/watch?v=ntaidEKs… #ad

Want to see #CometNEOWISE? If you're in the northern hemisphere, you should be able to get some good views through July. Check positions/times on sites such as @RoyalAstroSoc @SkyandTelescope, @AstronomyNow or @earthskyscience  👉 earthsky.org/space/how-to-se… (pic: @mars_stu)

A 5 second test image with the AD250. @656Imaging collimated the scope with a laser and then you would fine tune with stars. But the AD250 was 99.9% perfect "out of the box"! 656 Imaging have a stand at (practicalastroshow.com/ ) this weekend. #656Imaging #PracticalAstronomyShow

We'll be heading to the Practical Astronomy Show, Kettering on 9 March! 🔭  This is the show's inaugural year so should be an interesting weekend, and there is already a good range of speakers confirmed. If you're attending, stop by our stand and say hi. practicalastroshow.com/
