Title

12P Pons-Brooks has a period of 72 years. He is a part of the Halley-type comet familiy. The next perihel passage is in april 2024. Last night i gave it a first try. With the 16"/3.2 and the QHY 600 I exposed for 14x2 minutes and captured the first signals of the comet. It is currently 21m4 bright and almost stellar. I couldn't clearly determine a coma, the image wasn't deep enough for that. 12P/Pons-Brooks 2022 july 3 UT 21.18 image 9x2 min Michael Jäger
