Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks: a new image – 3 Feb. 2024
We present a new image of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks on its way to its turning point around the Sun. Let’s enjoy its beauty. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 25, 120-second...

We continue observing comet 12P/Pons-Brooks while it approaches the Sun and here we share a new image. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 9, 120-second unfiltered exposures, taken with the...
We observed comet 144P/Kushida, soon after its perihelion and showing a faint tail. The image is available below. The image above comes from the average of 5, 120-second exposures, unfiltered, remotely taken with the...
We captured new images of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks without any interference from the Moon, using two different instruments. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 7, 180-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with...
We took a new image of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, showing a nice tail, and we are pleased to share it here. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 15, 120-second unfiltered exposures,...
After about five months, we imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS again, while slowly approaching its best visibility. Hopefully it will become a bright object later this year. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping...
We imaged comet 12P/Pons-Brooks again, a few days after its most recent outburst: despite the full Moon, it shows a nice tail. The image above comes from the median combination of 21, 120-second unfiltered...
Here it is comet 12P/Pons-Brooks soon after it started a new outburst, while approaching the Sun. It shows a faint tail. The image above comes from the average of 5, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely...
Comet 62P/Tsuchinshan reached the minimum distance from the Sun on 25 Dec. 2023 and now, while it leaves the inner solar system, it is showing a nice tail. The image above comes from the...
Here it is comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, while approaching the Sun. It shows a faint tail. The image above comes from the average of 5, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit...

The first image of the new year captured the faint comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs while crossing the Orion constellation, particularly its stunning belt. The image above comes from the combination of 19, 120-second exposures,...
Here it is comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, imaged after its 4th outburst after the July one. The image above comes from the sigma combination of 10, 180-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the Celestron C14+Paramount ME+SBIG...
We observed comet C/2023 H2 Lemmon, showing a nice, faint tail. The image is available below. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 9, 120-second exposures, unfiltered, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount...
We observed comet 12P/Pons-Brooks again, to track its evolution after its 5 Oct. bright outburst. As with the July one, the coma expanded significantly. The image above comes from the median combination of 31,...
