Description

I had the opportunity to capture comet Pons-Brooks on March 10th, 2024. Despite the thin clouds and horizon light pollution, it turned out to be a beautiful comet!

This was my first astrophotography trial with the Z6ii, and the banding caused by the sensor PDAF pixels is very noticeable. I was able to suppress it in photoshop using a dust and scratches filter, but it will likely be present in all astrophotos taken with this camera.

I hope you all enjoy
