So this will probably be my one and only take on Comet 12P Pons-Brooks.
Its position is fairly low down towards the West in the sky, which makes capturing it quite challenging. For me it’s a race against time before it dips down below my neighbour’s roof line and having to wait long enough for the sky to darken enough to pick up any detail in the tail. But the most challenging bit is having no clouds in the way!
Anyway, even though I have only managed to grab a few minutes on it, and there was some wispy high-level cloud about that evening, I am pleased with how this one has turned out.
