Description

Friday evening, I swung my telescope over for a look at Comet K2 Panstarrs and was pleasantly surprised to see it sitting next to the globular star cluster M10. This image was taken with my RASA8 telescope / ASI294 combo (a stack of 15 one minute exposures). The comet, with its greenish coma, was discovered by a large telescope in Hawaii back in 2017. It's great to finally have clear skies and get back to the business of astrophotography
