Comet Leonard (C/2021 A1)

View fullsize

Imaging comets is often difficult and requires you to be extremely prepared. The time they show themselves typically is only when they get close to our Sun, therefore only allowing a short window of opportunity to capture them. Comet Leonard was no different, although was definitely worth the chase.

This image was required in the Florida Everglades taking over the course of 1.5 hours using my 76 mm sharp star telescope and QHY268 m CMOS camera, taking 90 seconds exposures.
