The Sun's activity has been increasing for some time, so I've setup my Celestron 6" f/10 SCT with a white light solar filter.

Here is a couple of images from two days. February 8th and 9th. 2022

The night of November 6th, I setup a run to acquire data of 6 different comets throughout the night. This required staggering the run so that the objects were up far enough to move to the next one during the night.

The comet list was as follows but not necessarily in this order

• Comet 4P (FAYE)
• Comet 29P Schwassmann-Wachmann
• Comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko
  
• Comet C-2021 A1 (Leonard)
  
• Comet L3 (ATLAS)
  
• Comet_132P_...

We headed to the Okie-Tex star party which was held October 1-9, 2021

It is located near the village of Kenton, Oklahoma.

Here is the album of astrophotos taken during that week.

I've been using a 300mm f/4 prime lens that I'm borrowing for a bit, with my ZWO asi071mc pro camera.

Some interesting results

In addition, a short video.

While at the Boon Hill Observatory I setup to take images of Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)

Data taken on 7/23, 2020

Location: Boon Hill Observatory

Processed 7/26, 2020. First stack of 9 x 90 second frames (cropped)

Stacked on the core only so there are trailing stars.

No darks, so there is a lot of noise.

Comet C/2020 F8 (SWAN) is coming north right now in May 2020. Here is a video of it's path from May 12 - 30, 2020 in the morning sky.

It will also be visible in the Evening sky after the 25th of May as it moves north. This is f rom Michigan skies, i.e. 42+ degrees north latitude.
