C/2019 U6 (Lemmon) 2020-May-28 Sergio Babino

This photo of comet C / 2019 U6 Lemmon was taken on Thursday, May 28, beginning the round of 80 five-second exposures at 22:28 UT.

This and subsequent photographs were taken with a Celestron CPC800 8-inch aperture double-arm Az-mount telescope and the ZWO174MM CMOS with direct focus.

Of the 80 shots I had to discard six. The stacking that you see, after calibrating stacking and processing the master, is with the alignment made on the stars.

If you pay attention to the nucleus of the comet it appears as a bar, this is because the image is aligned on the stars and the comet has its own movement, it turns out that in each frame it is in a slightly different position, and when stacking it leaves the printed path.
