Description

I travelled over 500 kilometers from Cairo to a bortle 1 location in Al Wady Al Gaded Desert in New Valley government near the White Desert to have a final chance to catch comet 12P/Pons–Brooks. I set up  in front of a dune just about an hour before sunset and was able to get 35 images of 30 seconds each before the Devil comet set behind the dune. Both sky and foreground images were shot from same position using same camera and scope , the Askar FMA 180Pro. I had a friend walk up the dune just before sunrise to get the foreground image. The final image is a composite of both sky and foreground images.
