Description

The good weather this weekend provided a chance to photograph Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks, which just became visible in the southern hemisphere. In New Zealand it can be seen now at the end of April for about an hour in the evening twilight, low toward the western horizon, making for a short window of opportunity to capture it.  Just out of naked eye seeing, the comet is easily spotted in binoculars.
