Description

I am very attached to this image as the comet 12P/ Pons-Brooks is my first attempt shooting a comet in LRGB and using for the first time as well SkyTrack software, which made a tremendous difference in the rendering when compared to a traditional approach of tracking the stars.

The challenge was to shoot the comet being already very low in the sky, and getting sufficient data through the thick density of Earth atmosphere.

I feel very priviledged to witness such a sight, a once in a liftetime opportunity !
