Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks

[Gerr]

A brief window opened up through the clouds last night and I took the opportunity to try and grab a comet shot. 
The star tracker was not required but my Canon6D and Sigma Art 50mm lens was.
I managed 50 (8 second) quick fire shots at ISO800 f2.2 at the Holyhead Mountain Quarry Park on Anglesey . The foreground was shot at 60secs over the lake.

Images (and calibration frames) were initially run through Siril and then processed in Photoshop Lightroom and CS.

Nice to see a couple of galaxies here too.

Hope u like.

CC’s welcome.

Great image. I wish I had idyllic foregrounds/backgrounds around here...

Lovely photo especially taking the galaxies M31 (Andromeda) and M33. The Comet is really good taking in the Tail. Really well done a cracking photo.

That's a super image, the position of the galaxies really help make the image great.

Wow, you’re on fire at the moment @Gerr!!

I love the foreground and the balance, especially with the colour contrast between the comet and Mirach. Is that a hint of comet reflection there in the lake too?

magical stuff.

Ha - thanks! The clouds rolled back in quick otherwise I would of put the 135mm on it too!

Mirach was a great guide star for the sky shot and I loved the symmetry of the galaxies and the comet that it provided. Glad you noticed the reflection too!
