Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks - 4 March 2024
The comet, still in Andromeda, is now a little brighter than when I imaged it on 29 Feb, and despite it being low in a murky sky, quite a long tail is visible to the camera. As mentioned with the previous photo, its sky location means I can't view or image it with my 'scope.
20 x 30-sec exposures at f/4 and ISO 3200 with an EOS 600D and Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 lens, on a Vixen Polarie star tracker; frames stacked on the comet (hence the very slightly trailed stars) in DeepSkyStacker, with curves adjustment and further noise reduction in post-processing.
