Summary: the comet was very well visible, I took 60 photos with 32 seconds exposure to stick them together. Also, I made pictures of the Moon. Tried to make photos of some nebulae, but the Moon was really bright to observe them, so, I just observed.
Objects viewed: the Moon, comet Catalina, M81, 82, M45, Jupiter.
Problems Encountered: We found that clack sound goes from box on the top of the pier with “Celestron” sign. I can feel something when put my hand on that box. I will send a picture tomorrow, just in case.
