12P Pons-Brooks 2024-Apr-06 Gianluca Masi

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is crossing the same spot of the sky where planet Jupiter is shining. We captured this fascinating pair, our image is below.

The image above comes from the combination of 12, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the Samyang 135+Paramount ME+ZWO ASI 6200MC Pro robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy. The covered field of view is about of 16 x 11 square degrees. Comet very low (about 10 degrees) above the horizon, ready to set.
