12P Pons Brook from Canberra with Spectrum

In Canberra in the last year or two, it seems when we are not getting the Eastern mist from Sydney, we instead suffer cloud funneling along the Dividing range either from the North or South! Hope it improves as Saturn rises earlier.

But we often get a bit of sun in the day so I can do some solar imaging and some clearish sky in the early night which in this instance I used for comets.

Micks Pons Brook image from a few nights ago inspired me to post up my own taken on a 533mc with a C6 and Celestron reducer. This shows what I am told is an anti-tail at the front.


Also, in case it was of interest added a very novice comet spectrum using the Star Analyzer 100 with my 533mm.
