Description

Object/Date:

C/2021 D1 (SWAN) @ 2021 Apr 5, 19:51 UT

Description:

Comet C/2021 D1 (SWAN) is a difficult object to image because it has always remained low on its approach, on April 5, 2021 I could taken this image during nautical twilight at 19 degrees above horizon from a peri-urban sky, in which it appears with a very faint coma about 3 arcminutes with a poor defined central condensation. After reaching its maximum last March with magnitude 10.5, at the time of taking this image its brightness had already dropped to magnitude 12.
