12P/Pons-Brooks 2024-Apr-06 Gianluca Masi

The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 6, 90-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy. The telescope tracked the object while imaging. Comet very low (12 deg.) above the horizon, twilight. A few art-sat trails are also visible.

The tail is glorious, with plenty of details.
