Details:
Comet Catalina is decreasing in brightness, but remains a nice photographic target. The coma is still easily visible in binoculars, with the dust tail also still discernible, at least in the skies I had that morning. Alkaid is at center left, and galaxy M51 is visible near the top centre.This image is a stacked two-panel mosaic, taken with a Canon 70D and 135mm lens at F2. The 20 sub-frames were each 6 seconds long at ISO 25600. Shot on a stationary tripod. Seeing: 6/10 Transparency: 7/10 Temperature: -12.8C
