Description

While getting ready to image C/2022 E3 I had some time to wait for it to rise and so I decided to go after the other bright comet in my skies, C/2020 V2, which I have been following (and imaging) for awhile.  Interestingly enough I think I read in one of my astro magazines that there are 11 comets in the sky right now. I'll need to go and check that, and maybe I might decide to capture them all (or maybe not  )

So here is C2020 V2 with my OSC - no filters - plenty of light pollution to deal with. image was cropped for the final photo.
