Comet A3 and Summer Beehive Cluster

On 10/26/2024 08:00 pm by Steve Wilson | Salina, Kansas USA

I wanted to get one final photo of the Comet Tsuchinshan before it got too dim to photograph. Got my Rokinon 135mm lens on my GTI mount and went over to the star Cebalrai which is the closest star visually to the Comet. Framed it up the way I wanted to and proceeded to take my photos. Took 110 light frames, 45 darks at ISO 1600 for one minute each. Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and processed in Photoshop. Was able to also get the Summer Beehive Cluster in the field of view. Really enjoyed photographing the comet as I got plenty of shots and different focal lengths.
