Details:
This starless image of the comet was made at the 30th of March from my robotic observatory in Thessaloniki Greece. The comet gets brighter and shows a small tail as well and it's a really nice view through my 12" SCT telescope.
Since there is a lockdown in Greece because of the Corona-Virus, I feel very lucky to have a robotic observatory and so it happens to have a comet to image through April as it will get brighter!
This image was made while tracking on the comet and imaging through RGB filters on an SBIG STF-8300 CCD camera. Exposure times were 240s in order to capture the tail of the comet which is somewhat elusive.
