Description

I captured the comet early morning of January 20th. I took 90 one-minute exposures but only used 30 of them because I didn't want the ion tail to blur out. It was moving pretty fast. I'm glad I centered the comet in the frame as apparently, I picked up the anti-tail due to our perspective as we cross its orbital path. I used my Ceravolo300mm astrograph with 1400mm focal length and a Canon R6, ISO 6400.
