Details:
Clouds finally broke at the start of twilight. Taken 71 minutes before sunrise. This one shot image was taken at f/2.8, Nikkor 180mm using Fujifilm X-T5. I vingetted the frame to simulate a telescopic view. The comet's tail was about 3 degrees long in this image.
As the clouds cleared the eastern horizon, I caught this single image of this very very long period comet. I took this shot blindly not knowing exactly where it was and lucked out. The frame's dimension is ~5x7 degrees and was taken directly without post processing.
