Details:
After a three weeks of cloudy days, I could finally try to catch the brightening comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, which is every day more and more beautiful. My attempt to catch comet 12P/Pons-Brooks on the evening of 3 March 2024, around 19UT, brought me to Zdiar, Slovakia, where I found a piece of clear skies after 140 km of driving. Unfortunately, strong light pollution from Zakopane city in direction of the comet made the photography more challenging. Also, there was no free view was in the direction of the comet, so I kept a tree from exposures in the field of view. Eventually, it looks pretty nice, I think :)
Used Canon Ra, Tamron 70-200mm (200 mm), ISO 5000, f2.8, 47x15s, tracked on Vixen Polarie-U. Used Optolong L-Pro filter (pretty helpful for ion tail).
