Description

Comet C/2020 M3 taken with the telescope (vs my previous widefield with Orion's belt) - although a lot less exciting as less to see, and it looks a bit lonely, I was happy to have finally been able to process this with a mix of Pixinsight's Comet Alignment process and Photoshop.

Description: This comet is moving fast - a lot of space has been covered within an hour - velocity as of 14 November is 36.433 km/s relative to the Sun and as it is closer to Earth it seems to move faster.
