Description

Constellation of the crescent Moon, Jupiter and the outgoing Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks on the evening of the 10th April 2024.
All 3 objects formed a magic triangle only 5° above the horizon.
This means the comet is saying goodbye and will no longer be meaningfully observable here as the moon waxes and its altitude drops.

ZWO ASI 2600MC with Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f/2,8.
10 stacked frames at 30 sec for the comet and 1 sec for the moon (Gain 300).
