Here is last nights image of Comet Pan-STARRS May 30, 2013 a bit more screen stretch now shows some flux nebula around Polaris and SH2-178. Again (1) subframe 6 min exposure using a yellow filter and 3" F/4 astrograph remote...

Oh its about 5.5° from Polaris to the core of the comet

Hi Jim,
Thanks for posting the image. Old, outdated, in almost dark skies, and still a performer you just can't beat Made in America.

BTW on the subject of Don's focusers, they are great! I have (4) of them one on each astrograph including a primary mirror driver on the 8"F/2.6 in almost 9 years of service I have burned out several robotic focus motors and driver electronics but NEVER had a single issue with one of Don's focusers. They are outstanding...Dave
