Details:
Lately, the comet has been difficult to see from northerly latitudes, especially from Scotland where I am at 55.4° north.
This morning I was able to image the comet as it rose before sunrise, though because of the bright sky I was unable to see it even with binoculars. I made a panel from three of these photos, taken over 10 minutes, during which the comet rose from just over a degree above the horizon to just under two and a half.
They were taken with a Borg 90FL with their 0.72x reducer, and a Nikon Z7ii, with tracking provided by a Rainbow Astro RST-135E. The exposures were 1/3, 1/3 and 1/6 of a second respectively, at ISO 640. The images were processed and combined in Affinity Photo 2.
