Description

After a cloud plagued imaging session in Coma Berenices, Cygnus had gotten high enough to have a shot at C/2021 S3 (PANSTARRS). Clouds snuck in for these shots too, but managed to stay out of 96 minutes' worth. H-Alpha emission nebula are rich across the entire field and R5's unmodified sensor was able to pick up a decent amount of it. The comet's tail extends roughly 1 degree in the image with a well condensed coma. LBN 278 the Propeller Nebula (?) decorates the center of the frame while open cluster NGC 6866 sits at top right/northwest.
