Comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas with ZWO224MC

Two nights ago I was not able to find the comet using TAL200K with ZWO224MC. So I changed my strategy and used stellarium planetarium software. After star allignment of the mount a connection was made with Stellarium. The comet was uploaded in Stellarium and the mount was guided towards to comet. Next I used my 34mm ocular to see if the comet showed up. The very faint comet did show up and was set central in the ocular. The eyepiece was changed by the ZWO224MC camera and gain and exposure tme was increased untill the comet showed up.

As a result different pictures were made with different setting. I was not blown away with the result but still I'm proud of the results.
