Description

I captured this image of Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks from my clubs dark site.  This is my first attempt at capturing a comet with my telescope and I'm pleased with the result.  Due to it's low attitude, I was only able to get about 45 minutes of data, or 10 frames per filter so limit pixel rejection could be performed.  I used techniques that were learned using Adam Block's Comet Academy tutorials which really help me bring out the best from the data that was captured.  Processed in PixInsight.
