About this image

A three-image sequence of C/2022's path through Taurus. Though sky conditions were good, a blustery wind curtailed several exposures by giving the Unistellar the shakes (which it does not like and which leads to automatic shut-down of the imaging process). Even so, I have enjoyed chasing the 'green comet'.

Bortle 7/8.
