My best nightscape image of the winter night sky? ✨🌌

            On Sunday, September 30, I tried my luck and set off to catch the promising comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. The planned location was completely different, but due to weather conditions, I had to change my plans. After all, it took me around 20 minutes to arrive at this place, which I had in reserve.

I also wanted to take a picture of Orion as there was an opportunity. I had around 20 minutes to take this panorama made of 11 panels. As it later turned out, the conditions were so good that, despite the moonshine, I captured even the zodiacal light, which you can see on the left. And yes, there is also airglow on the right near the horizon.

But I'm most excited about the faint nebulae in Orion because this was my first time using my modified 6D for the winter part of the night sky. And I am absolutely stunned and looking forward to the following winter.

Despite not being successful with the comet, I am happy with this image. And lest I forget, also notice the photographer, who got involved in my shot!
