Description

This was an experimental shot for me having very little experience with either cometary or planetary astrophotography. It was shot within a narrow window where it was possible to frame both the comet and Mars in the same shot using a relatively widefield refractor. Post processing was challenging given the differing motion of the comet compared with that of Mars and the stars, as well as the differing visual magnitude of each object. Rather unfortunately I no longer have the original subs or calibration frames for this set due to a drive crash.
