My first change to get out of the city and into the country (Bortle 6/7 skies) was Feb 15th, 2026.   My first target was Comet C/2024 E3 (Wierzchos).  I managed to get 50 frames of 20 sec each, even though the comet was very low to the horizon in the southwest.   I generated a star-freeze and star-streaks set with that data.  Those images are below:

Next,  I switched out of comet imaging mode and into Deep Sky.   I picked the Horse Head Nebula as my next target and let it run for 30 minutes.  It did well, as you can see:

For the next step, I switched to the wide-angle lens and took some images of a large swath of sky.   I left it pointing at the Horse Head and did another 30 minute run:

Not too bad of a night for Bortle 5/7 skies and it being a short night before a work day.
