Details:
Under hazy skies this morning, 2020/01/21 12:35:34 UTC, I was able to capture some images of new Comet C/2020 A2 Iwamoto in Hercules at 28d altitude Eastern sky near astronomical twilight and with waning crescent Moon 11.7 % about 40d away. It was nice green color and bright at the 13th mag. level. It is heading towards Vega, Lyra over the next 18 days. Image attached, taken with C9.25" , f6.3 fr, Canon T6i, iso 12800, 30s exposure, single image. Sky X Pro charts show the ~1d fov and Eastern horizon wide field view.
