Description

Visible once in only 50,000 years. Last time was when Neandertals were around.
I thought I was going to miss this comet due to weather which happened to me with Comet NEOWISE. However this time I was fortunate to have a very small one night window to capture this image in less than four hours of opportunity. The weather is really hit or miss around here but I'm not complaining as we need the water and snowpack here in Northern California. The weather has turned sour again but I was glad to capture this data.

This is my contribution to the collection of image for this comet.

I captured this image with Astrodon RGB Gen 2 Series filters.
141 RGB images overall at various exposures.
