Comet Nishimura - a photo on Flickriver

Comet Nishimura

            Here's a shot of Comet Nishimura (C/2023 P1) at dawn, photographed in Central Oregon. I used a Canon 6D and Samyang 135mm f/2 lens on a Star Adventurer 2i mount. 

The final image is a stack of ten 16s tracked exposures at f/2.2, ISO 640. In Photoshop the sky composite was blended with a foreground composite of six exposures taken with the tracking turned off, settings of 16s, f/2.2, ISO 400.

The comet exhibited a compact, greenish head and a narrow ion tail that stretched upward 3 to 4 degrees.  

This comet was only discovered a month ago, by Hideo Nishimura of Kakegawa, Japan. Thanks, Hideo, your comet made my day.
