Description

Hooray, no moonlight interference! Finally. Fairly bright 9.5th magnitude morning comet as it travels through the Milky Way of Aquila. This is one we All (both hemispheres) can see and getting brighter! Estimated closest to earth around April 23, 2021 (~0.43au) with perihelion on March 1, 2021. I've been fighting moonlight since April1 on this morning target. Finally this morning Apr8, 2021 I could grab decent 51 x 120 second light frames and process. Other scope info can be found in the border of the image.
