12P/Pons-Brooks 2024-Mar-12 Gianluca Masi

This image comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 10, 120-second exposures, unfiltered and unguided, remotely taken with the Celestron C14+Paramount ME+SBIG ST8-XME robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project. The telescope tracked at the comet’s rates of motion. The view above was preserved as much natural as possible and already reveals dust shells close to the false nucleus.
