Description

Last night still cloudy night... this is really frustrating for those live in southern place like me. At 39° of latitude in may often we have the summertime and this year i lost the galaxies season! DAMN!

In this frustrating night i was looking for some Globular Cluster to shoot, pointed to M3 i see that nearby there was the comet C/2020 T2 "Palomar". So i decided to take some 300" frames. This is my first photo of a comet taken with my 10" SCT and result really surprise me. The critical point was that the registration of each frame i made in manual mode with Siril but afterall it was funny to learn this kind registration on this of pictures.

So... a frustrating night become a productive night! Is not a "WOW" picture but comet color and tail are clearly visible.
