I had a go at the Lemmon comet last week outside London with the Canon R6 and 400mm lens. Very challenging as it's close to the light-polluted horizon. About 1.5h of data.

I have had very productive astrophotography sessions in Greece in August. Out of the 28 possible nights (excluding the nights around the full moon), I managed to collect data in 24 of those. For 4 nights it was either too windy (3) or cloudy (1). The country has both dark skies and nice weather.
