Details:
Comet 13P/Olbers taken on July 7, 2024.
It is a periodic comet, with an orbital period of about 69 years, belonging to Halley's comet family, which reached perihelion, the point of its orbit closest to the Sun, on June 30. It is currently visible, low on the northwest horizon shortly after sunset with binoculars or, better, with a small telescope. In this image, taken remotely from Utah, using a very short window of visibility, two tails are clearly visible yellowish-grey one made of dust and the blue one made of ions.
Technical data: Takahashi FSQ 106ED with ZWO ASI 2400MC and Optolong L-PRO filter. 7x120s bin 1x1.
