Aloha Barney I had my D100 mounted sidesaddle on my C8. I had the scope polar aligned and just used it that way. The camera was just pointed in the area that the comet wopuld be and then after the image came up I would then adjust the framing. The exposure and gear are Nikon D100 camera @ 400asa , in the jpeg fine/large setting. lens used was a 105 mm micro Nikkor at F 2.8 for 30 sec. I took 15 shots and picked the one that looked the best. then Photoshop levels,contrast and sharpening. aloha Rob
