Description

This photo was taken in the small hours of December 17th(CST). At that day, the comet is closest to the Earth and also closest to the Pleiades.

I used a refracting telescope and a DSLR camera to shoot the comet.The exposure is 45s×85 at 1600 iso. However, it's not enough to get higher SNR to show tails of the comet.

Telescope: SKY ROVER 70SA

Camera: Canon 5D3(non-modified)

Mounts: iOptron Cem-25
