Here is my recent capture of 62P/Tsuchinshan comet that was passing near a well known group of galaxies called “Leo Triplet”. The image is a result of blending three images:
– image of the comet (captured on December 29, 2023);
– image of the star field (captured on December 29, 2023);
– 10.5 hours of exposure time image of Leo Triplet I captured over the course of four nights earlier in December.

You can learn a little more about the imaging process through a video on YouTube I have posted as well.
