Title

In the hope of also capturing something of the developing ion tail (erected in the direction of 12 h), I exposed comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) from Alhama de Granada (Andalusia/Spain) again for a whole night. The dust tail also already has a considerable length. Unfortunately, there was already some Sahara sand in the air last night, which reduced the contrast a bit. RASA8 (200/400) with LPS filter, ASI2600MC (-28°), 75x300sec.
