Comet Leonard near Venus 19Dec21
Comet Leonard has been a putting on a bit of a show for those in the Northern Hemisphere in recent weeks, but it has now become visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Unfortunately it is fading now, but it is still a nice binocular object low in the west after sunset. This image was taken last night from Brisbane, before the sky was fully dark. The comet is at top left and Venus is below and to the right.
Image details: 101 x 0.4 sec exposures with an EOS R and 70-200mm telephoto lens at f/4 and 1600 iso. Stacked in DeepSkyStacker and processed in Lightroom.
