Details:
48 x 30 second ISO 1600 F4.5 70 mm tracked exposures with my Star Adventurer 2i. 0330 UTC - 0401 UTC
I woke up early around 4 am to try and capture the newly discovered C/2023 P1 although it seems as if it was riddled with minor technical problems.
Setting up the star tracker during the day certainly helped the polar alignment although the seeming reduction of my focal length from 150 mm to 70 mm went completely unnoticed to me until I had woken up and looked at the stack later on in the day.
I was quite surprised just how visible the comet was during the individual exposures which were 30 seconds long as it was battling a rising sun and 100% moon but it was certainly there and green.
