Comet C2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) from night 6/7 of July 2022. Many diffuse HII regions give the image this reddish background in some places. The dust tail is very assymmetric and diffusely scattering against the proper motion of the comet. The ion tail is long, but only very faintly visible (to the lower left). RASA8 (203/400), LPS filter, ASI2600MC, 32 x 120 sec Alhama de Granada (960 m.a.s.) |
