_13P_Olbers_C14Hyperstar_asi2600mcP_33x60sec_2024_07_08_220632local_JuneLake_California_USA_DEBartlett

Interesting image with much activity within the heart of comet 13P/ Olbers. The dusty fantail is glowing brightly and the nucleus is still displaying its subdued greenish hint. Visually, this night in a pair of 18 x 50IS binoculars, the comet was an easy sight with an obvious central condensation and oblong extension up off the horizon. Very easy to spot/find in my skies with moderate dark adaption.
