Comet Lemmon C/2012 F6

[Paliadon (Kris)]

C/2012 F6 (Lemmon)
"Comet in Octans"

My first ever attempt at capturing a comet. Pretty chuffed at how well it actually turned out. 30 second exposure on ISO 1250 with an exposure bias of +3 steps.

You can note the faint tail at the top left of the comet.

Taken with a Nixon D300s T-adapted to the back of my 12" Meade LX200 ACF telescope.

RA: 16 14m 44.04s
Dec: -86° 32' 32.5"
