Description

After its passage of the sun, comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was well accessible from my place in the early evening, so I could not resist to shoot it with my wide field setup using the Sharpstar 13028HNT Hypergraph. The conditions were more than suboptimal, the weather was very dusty and due to the light pollution I was never able to spot the comet by eye. The imaging session was not well prepared and my subexposure time was set too large because I forgot to consider the motion of the comet.
Image processing turned out to be very challenging so it took a while before I could finally put out this image. A big shoutout to Adam Block and his comet acadey which helped me to master this task.

I hope you enjoy the result and many thanks for stopping by!
