Quoted By:
I photographed comet 12P/ Pons-Brooks on March 22nd from Norway. Captured right after sunset from a medium sized city (bortle 7 on the light pollution scale). This is around 70mins of exposure time in total.
If you don't know anything about astrophotography I'm going to warn you that it is a very expensive hobby and it takes a lot of time to learn how to use the equipment and process the images properly.
The gear I used for this photo:
Sky-watcher Esprit 80, Sky-watcher HEQ5 Pro, ZWO ASI1600MM Pro (monochromatic camera), ZWO Electronic filterwheel, Astronomik LRGB filters, Sky-watcher Evoguide 50ED + ZWO ASI120MM Mini for star guiding for the mount. Also have a lot of specific cables, USB hub and a PegasusAstro power-hub for power distribution. My whole setup is around 6-7k USD (in Norway).
I used a program called Pixinsight (280USD) for the stacking and image processing + some pluggins that were around (150USD). Again pretty expensive, but very fun and rewarding hobby at the same time.
