Description

Photographed Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks on April 6 and it looked very different than my last image on March 19. It was VERY LOW on the horizon which may have had a lot do with its appearance. Objects close to the horizon are magnified and distorted. I wonder if its orbit path has changed its shape and color. Much less green this time. Did pick up a little of the red. Still a very interesting object!
