Details:
This one is a lucky one from yesterday’s shooting with Kunetic Castle. While my friend Josef Kujal and I, standing just side by side, were taking the first data of the comet’s tail, a bright fireball crossed the sky just in front of the comet, at 2:15 UTC to be exact. captured it. Later, it was confirmed that the fireball was widely observed over Poland. Combining our data, I was able to show the whole lucky moment. Used Nikon Z6III, Tamron 70-200mm@120mm, f2.8, 31x20s (comet), 2x20s (foreground), ISO 1600, tracked on Vixen Polarie U. Josef captured the meteor at Canon Ra with the same lens like me (Tamron 70-200mm@120mm, f2.8, ISO 3200, 15s).
