Summary: I waited for the comet Catalina showing from clouds, then, I tried to catch it. Sometimes it was observable, sometimes it was not. Still it was foggy even when I could see the comet. I tried to make 30 pictures with 30 seconds exposure, I could see the comet on the pictures pretty well, but, DeepSkyStacker could not catch any stars to stick the picture.

Objects viewed: comet Catalina

Problems Encountered: no problem solving sessions.
