Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner 6th August

[Knighty2112]

Single image taken earlier this morning just after midnight in Cassiopeia with Canon EOS4000D attached to C8 SCT with 0.63 focal reducer. Mounted on AVX Mount, no tracking. Exposure 10 seconds. ISO 3200. Cropped and edited in PS.

The coma is well pronounced, with the slight hint of a short, stubby tail.

Thanks Bob. Was surprised how I got with just a 10 second exposure. Hoping to get more images of the comet when next clear weather permits.
