Location of Photo:

Middle Creek WMA, PA, USA

Date/Time of photo:

April 18, 2026

Equipment:

Canon R6 mark II and a Canon 200 mm f/2.8L II lens

Description:

This comet has such an interesting ion tail! As the comet nears perihelion a day later, the tail is definitely showing signs of several disconnection events from the solar wind. I was fighting satellites and approaching twilight and somehow pulled off an image. The image was made of 76 ten second exposures taken with a Canon R6 mark II and a Canon 200 mm f/2.8L II lens. (ISO 640, f/4)
