12P/Pons-Brooks 2023-Jul-23 Gianluca Masi

The image above comes from the average of 24, 180-second exposures, remotely taken with the Celestron C14+Paramount ME+SBIG ST8-XME robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy. Images were collected under good seeing conditions. The comet shows an interesting horseshoe shape.

The image above was gently processed to show both the brightest, central regions and the delicate, outer coma.
