Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in Cancer

[drjolo]

Two nights ago I captured the comet in the Cancer. There are significant LP in the eastern part of the sky at my location, but I could not wait longer, because clouds were coming, so the image is not as deep as I wanted it to be. Comet was about 65 mln km away at this image and is currently making a fancy loop at the sky  

Imaged with WO Zenithstar II 80ED, Flat3, QHY247C, CEM26. 30x2 minutes.

That is absolutely fantastic work mate. Really really gorgeous.

Very nice image indeed.  Is that a straightforward stack or a more complicated composite image?

Bit of a mouthful isn’t it? Churyumov-Gerasimenko 😀

Wonderful image.  This would make a very worthy entry into the current SGL comet challenge https://stargazerslounge.com/topic/387141-sgl-2021-challenge-9-comets/

Thanks! I forgot about the challenge, but still hope to catch it a little bit better - waiting for optimal conditions

It is just a processed stack, I did not align separately on comet and starfield. Then processed a little bit in Pix, and mostly in Photoshop.
