Details:
Despite its height over the horizon, the comet's 12P/Pons-Brooks best season is just starting. The Moon slowly moves away from the evening sky and the comet's head reaches 5th magnitude. I tried to catch it yesterday evening, 26th March 2024, from Záhradné, Slovakia, but cirrus clouds were passing. Moonlight made the photography even more challenging. In the view, the Triangulum Galaxy can also be seen, and on the right bottom corner are transmission towers of Lysá Mount (elev. 1058 meters), where I was observing comet Nishimura last year. sed Canon Ra, Tamron 70-200mm (set to 200mm), 43x20s, ISO 800, 2.8, tracked on Vixen Polarie U, ground frozen. For M33 I used previous data from moonless nights.
