Details:
Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard on 26th Dec 2021 from near Taupo, New Zealand, low in the western sky (head at 14 deg altitude) at about 10:40 pm. 15 x 10 second exposures with a C11 280mm SCT with Hyperstar f/2 reducer at 560mm focal length and ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera on a 10Micron GM1000 HPS mount. Captured with a ZWO Asiair Pro capture device. Stacked with Astropixel Processor comet alignment. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop Elements. The comet was about 93 million km distant and moving away from us at about 240 thousand km/hr. I was surprised how much detail I could capture in the tail given the low altitude and a nearby LED streetlight shining into the scope.
