Description

It is comet time again. Comet 62/P Tsuchinshan is currently visible in Virgo with a magnitude of 9.8 and it is  75,522,723 kilometers from earth.
I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful green comet today between 2:30 and 5 am. It was a little windy and I had to trash many subs, however, I was able to collect 2.2  hours of data to define well its shape and color.
