Comet 13P/Olbers: 3 June 2024
The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 5, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy. The telescope tracked the object while imaging, which was less than 10 deg. above the W horizon.
