Details:
C/2015 F3 (SWAN) in Cassiopeia. This was a tough one to spot given it was seen against the northern edge of the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way. Look for a faint green smudge north of the F-class star HIP 124 near the center of the cropped frame. Estimated apparent magnitude around 9.0. Stack of 35 1-minute exposures at ISO1600, f/4.5, DA*300mm lens, Pentax K-3. Initial stacking and cleanup in PixInsight with final post-processing in Darktable.
