Re: Comet 'Lemmon' last night (PICS)

Marco,

REALLY impressive images and a great write-up! I use dedicated astro cameras but I still really like to see Canon continuing to support astrophotographers with specialized bodies with less filtering that interferes with the wavelengths of emission nebulae.

Fun to see so many objects in your widefield Milky way image, with the Lagoon and Trifid nebulas and also the Rho Ophiuchi complex so prominently represented. You obviously have some dark skies where you are imaging from. The comet shots are equally impressive, and amazing to realize you are seeing the comet core on the LiveView display - that's mid blowing!

I now have a new respect for Canon's latest astro body the Ra, after your excellent write-up and fantastic sample images. Thanks for sharing. This might just be the ultimate nightscape shooting camera. I am currently about to switch over to an R5 from my trusty 5DSr, but having a second body for nightscape imaging could be a real benefit.

Thanks so much for sharing these, and for taking the time to give such a detailed report on the camera. Good to also see how well the 135 f/2 is performing. I will have to keep an eye on that as well.

Best Regards,

ML
