I am doing imaging with the S50 near the equator so the sun sets around 7pm local time. For R2 SWAN (25 degree elevation at that time) the sky is still fairly bright but dark enough for the comet to appear in the scope's FOV. The S50's plate-solving cannot locate and centre R2 SWAN and refused to live stack in the evening sky even when it was clearly visible in the FOV. Doing away with the Live setting, the 10s subs I gathered were useless in Deep Sky Stacker though and I had better luck with 20s subs.
The capture images and subs all have a light gradient from the right side going to normal darkness on the left. This is not attributed to urban light or clouds as it is also noticed while I was taking shots of other objects at higher altitudes at darker sites.
I also noted that the stated position for 3I ATLAS was way off. The S50's sky atlas position for 3I atlas did not coincide with the position given on TheSkyLive.
