Description

Despite some clouds I managed to capture Comet 12/P Pons Brooks. Comet 12/P Pons Brooks was discovered back in 1812 and has an orbital period of 71 years. There’s also a chance that it will be visible during the solar eclipse as it will be closer to the sun on April 8th.

This is 17x1210" exposures for 34' of integration time. 

Shot using a @zwoasi 2600MC Duo camera and a @teleskop_service CF APO 90mm refractor telescope. 🔭 guided by the @skywatcherusa EQ6R pro.
