Comet 4P/Faye Drifting by the Nebulous Starfield in Monoceros
As everyone's telescope is pointed to the comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard), I tried to something different by shooting 4P/Faye, taking advantage of its position on 28 Dec 2021.
At the night of the observation, the comet had a coma of 3.5' arc and was shining at a magnitude of 11.4 according to the COBS, so pretty small and faint, but I still really liked how it showed up in the frames.
I really enjoyed this Field Of View and to image a different comet, and I really hope you liked it too! Constructive criticism, comments and suggestions are more than welcome in the comments section.
