Pons Brooks doing a Hale Bopp

Tonight I used my Rokinon 135mmf2 lens, 18 x 15 secs, iso 400, EOS Ra, with comet in the glare of dusk and still quite low. Has a separate dust and ion tail now. I used a Polarie for portability, carried the rig to a vacant lot next door to get a better view. Taken tonight, Apr 26. Flats used but hard to flatten the fierld with the bright dusk sky. Comet will get a bit higher and with a waning moon should be worth imaging. I think it makes a particularily good target for RASA owners with a good W horizon
