Comet Swan (C/2020 F8) (view on black)

Comet  Swan (C/2020 F8) (view on black)
Canon EOS 700D, Samyang Objective f=85 mm f/2,8 ISO 1600 T=50 x 5 sec, tracked with VIXEN Polari. Cropped picture.

Not so spectacular as hoped for but you can see the coma and the tail. The three brightest stars in this picture are, under good conditions, visible by the naked eye. The comet is near the horizon at an altitude of ~10 degrees, so the conditions are not realy good.

Great that the comet has risen far enough to enable you to capture it, Ko. Let's hope it continues to brightern.

thank you, alas, it will not brighten further, contrary it gets dimmer. However the latitude gets higher, so in a couple of days I will try it again.
