I have used ACDSee for several years. I did have Lr v5 and left Lr when it went subscription. Some of the ways Lr made adjustments felt a bit more refined than ACDSee, but ACDSee has gotten better in last 3 years or so IMO. I also found it much easier to add keywords/ categories to images than Lr. It is my main programme. I hope they don't move to a subscription only model...
I didn't ever try the migration process (if that is what your question is aimed at)
ACDSee will read the IPTC info. It has its own ACDSee keywording system which is very quick to use and you can then add all those as IPTC keywords at a later date and to make it compatible with other progs/ websites.

I tried to photograph it but no matter how hard I tried I simply couldn't find it in the viewfinder (there was insufficient light for the rear LCD to be of any use). However we had a fab view of it using binoculars and it was even brighter the following night when I stayed up until the wee small hours.
I took a couple last night where there was a lot of light pollution, and no way could I see the comet with naked eye. I just put camera on tripod, set high ISO and tried a few shots moving around the sky until I found it. Once done, could then zoom in and take a more considered approach - hope that helps![quote:3496ace15f="JAK"]

Thanks Haris. I agree, if you can be bothered to take time to calibrate and remember which mode to put the camera in etc, it is really good.That looks great

Looks like I should remove one of the shots from the stack - with the plane trail in!

Another - from last night. This was 6 shots stacked in Sequator. Each shot was about 20sec - used the Astrotracer. K1 and Tammy 70-200;

We can see it here relatively clearly from just before 23:00 - BST. And it can still be seen until well after 2am (I went home to bed then!). I guess for Greece a couple of hours ahead, that bit of sky will have gone over at roughly your equivalent of 23:00 to 2am, although I guess that shorter window for you as you are further south than us.
Hope that helps!

That was well worth the effort Haris! A beautiful take.
Sorry that you look likely to miss it Gwyn .

Thanks for the feedback Nigel.
I think it was probably due to the comet being much better (brighter) than initially expected. I follow Alyn Wallace's you tube channel as he does a good "what's in the night sky" at the start of each month and he also did not mention it... But he did cover it later in the month.
Looking at Andy's shot I think he has captured some of the ion tail....
Very tempted to try another shot tonight too as the sky here is clearing.
Good luck with your observations.
