Comet C/2017 K2 (Still hanging on in there.)


Recommended Posts

While playing at producing a mosaic of M42 last night, I noticed an old name to the west of Orion's Belt; C/2017 K2 (PanStarrs). Stellarium gives it's magnitude as about 11.3 but photometry in ASTAP gives 14.5.

Here it is, capture in 13 x 120 sec exposures, RC10 and ASI071 camera. Stacked on the stars in DSS and stretched in P.S.

And here it is, stacked on the comet using the ephemeris stacking feature. Pretty much featureless.
