Taken with Officina Stellare Veloce RH200, STL 11000 and ASA DDM 60. Autoslew Comet Tracking module used.
For comet L:7x300 sec, RGB 5x120 each channel; for background L:7x300 sec, RGB 5x120 each channel.
The tail is very colourful!!

Enjoy!

I have to add... this is a very sexy telescope and mount. I like the idea of laser polar alignment and USB power... But what is the pricetag on all of this together... over $20k it looks like!
