Comet 41P/Tuttle-GiacobiniKresak, M108, M97

LEE PHILLIPS, KENT, 21 MARCH 2017

Lee says: “I have struggled with imaging comets in the past due to their motion against the stars and trying to stack multiple exposures, so this time I decided to take just one single, five-minute exposure with my DSLR and the in-camera noise reduction turned on. I was surprised at how well it came out after some careful processing.”

Equipment: Canon EOS 1000D DSLR camera, Altair Astro Starwave 102 ED achromat refractor.
