Cleaned up after I got back home. The twilight is quite obvious; it was only 45 minutes after sunset. #comet12p #astrophotography #astronomy

CW: Comet 12P visibility from Melbourne, star charts
Cloudy here so this is all theoretical, but anyone at my latitude (38°S) looking for comet 12P Pons-Brooks: here is a schematic of the WNW sky at 6.30 pm on 20 Apr (tonight) and 25 Apr (as the comet recedes and the moon stops being a problem). The comet is 10° above the horizon, probably requiring binoculars or a digital camera like a phone to see. #12p #comet #comet12p #astronomy #stargazing

Too bad: The clouds were eventually gone, but when it finally got dark enough to make out #Comet12p #PonsBrooks on the photos of my amateur camera, it disappeared behind the trees. So, no chance of getting a shot of its tail. 🙁
Still: A nice constellation of the crescent Moon, Jupiter (with three of its own moons), and Uranus. 🙂

Fritz Helmut Hemmerich photographed the comet from Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is visible in the night sky for observers in the northern hemisphere, offering a rare chance for professional and amateur astronomers to catch a glimpse of an object known for its spectacular outbursts of gas and dust.

How convenient: #Comet 12P #PonsBrooks was “visible” from our living room window tonight right after dinner. So I took the chance to take some photos with my hobby equipment, which is hardly made for #astrophotography (at least I had a Bahtinov mask to help focussing).
Camera: #FujifilmXT2 mirrorless
Lens: #Fujinon #XF150to600 @ 600mm F/8This is a stack of 8 photos, processed by hand in Adobe Photoshop.
