Comet 12/P Pons-Brooks
The current comet du-jour has really come into its own from a visual perspective in the past week and is truly delightful in the eyepiece now. How much longer it will last is the big question, but come next week it will start descending in the western sky at twilight, so not very much longer.
Image snapped with a cell phone at the eyepiece on Easter night, one hour after sunset. 10" F/5 Newt/Dob @39x, Samsung A71 in "Pro" mode, ISO 3200, 1/3 sec.
