Description

Comet 67P showing its long ionic tail, a collaboration with Alicia Lozano. This is a 6-panel mosaic assembled in PixInsight showing 14º of tail. The comet was in Cancer, crossing a field full of tiny galaxies (most of which are best visible in the high resolution version). The mosaic was aligned to the stars, so the comet nucleus is not stationary in this picture (it moved 18 pixels in the 64 minutes of each panel).

The picture was shot from the Observatorio Astronómico de Aras de los Olmos, Spain. Total exposure time is 6h 24m.
