Description

A Surprise for me to Process, 9.8 magnitude comet C/2020 V2 ZTF on 2023-08-26.  After focusing on comet Nishimura for processing over the past few nights, it was a pleasant surprise to compare  this overly bright and quite large comet on the same scale as the before mentioned comet.  This comet is still closing in on Earth with its closest slated for Sept 17th - next month.  This comet has been around a while and it's nice to still be able to capture this comet as it heads southward just above my rooftop for the capture.
