Backyard Comet A3 Capture

After several imaging sessions that were washed out by the rising or setting Sun, I was finally able to capture the comet over a lake in Greensboro, NC as the comet was higher in the sky after sunset around the 20th of October, 2024. I had a window of about 30 minutes to image the comet before it became lost in the light dome over the city.

Comet: ASI183MC Pro with Rokinon 135mm f/1.8, at 30 seconds X 131 frames, tracking on ZWO AM3 mount.
Foreground: Canon 77D with Canon 17-55mm f/2.8
