THE LAST FAREWELL PONS-BROOKS 50mm widefield from France

Took this composite picture near REIMS FRANCE where I have a 360° bortle3 landscape all by myself!
Had to drive 250km for that but all worth it.
The weatherforecast predicted all clear skies at the time of almost total darkness, but unfortunately this was not the case.
I was going for a 30-45 minutes shooting time with my TS70 and asi 533mc AND with my Canon 6D several lenses (50 and 135mm)
The TS on a EQM35 mount and the Canon on a staradventurer

But due to the low clouds, I even did not get to polar align the EQM35 (asiar pro) before the comet and the moon was hidden
So I hurried and polar aligned the staradventurer quickly (i pointed to Polaris, placed it in the middle of the circle and that was it !)
I then quickly focused the Canon and took some random shots direction moon/jupiters
Took shots at different f and iso values as well
I also changed the lens to the Samyang 135 mm and took some random shots as well...
Only 5 minutes later the comet dissapeared...

In the morning I overlooked what I had captured and then I threw some pictures in the Photoshop melting pot to get this composition

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
