Description

After a rainy day, the clouds opened for few hours after midnight last night - and so i jumped after this, last opportunity of 2022 to take some photographs of the sky. While i normally choose deep sky objects as target, as i had to shoot near the zenith due to low clouds flying closer to the horizon, i decided to try a Solar system object for the first time. The C/2022 V2 comet provided a good opportunity, for both shooting but also post-processing as i had to stack twice, one with star alignment, and then with alignment on the comet itself, and then merge both into a final image. The comet is small, but is there!
As i am learning new ropes all the time, i do appreciate a constructive feedback.
