C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) image - theskyhound - 2021-08-26
Hello everyone,
I was doing some testing with the newly available iTelescope T19, and got a deep image of C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS). I thought I'd share it here. This is a stack of 3x10-minute images in the Lum filter.

Very nice image Greg. It looks like the tracking on that mount is very good. 600 sec exposures, wow!
When will you be adding T19 & T70 to the list of iTelescopes in ST4i?
Glad you're getting some observing in with all your hard work.

T19 is looking very good, as is T69, but T70 remains problematic because I have so much trouble getting it to work for me. I should have T19 and T69 ready soon.

For some reason I can't log on to any iTelescopes that I haven't used previously. My credentials aren't recognized by these scopes, but they work fine to get on the main site & scopes that I've used in the past. Their support folks want me to try Chrome, but I don't want more Google in my life. Edge is no better.
T70 is overpriced IMO, but I suppose that you're paying for access to that site in Chile.
