Description

Weather in Germany has been extremely poor in the last few weeks. I already wrote off the comet, thinking I'd won't have time to  photograph it. Luckily, on the 29th of January I got a short window of clear skies. Out I went and did my utmost best to capture this year's brightest comet!
Capturing this comet proved to be surprisingly tricky, due to its fast movement on the sky. I first tried guiding on the comet directly, it worked alright, but I wasnt satisfied with the guiding accuracy. I later decided to do short subs instead and guide on stars. I still don't know if this was the right decision, none the less, I think the image turned out great!
