Description

Comet C/2018 Y1 (Iwamoto) passed by the Flaming star on the night of 2nd March 2019. Guest https://www.astrobin.com/users/Annehouw/ imaged it in our Tak FSQ106/Atik 11000/Mesu 200 in 2 minute subs, LRGB. I already had the background image (19 hours HaLRGB) so we co-operated on adding the comet to the image with careful attention to scale, position and orientation.
