I have been following this new stargazer comet since the end of September. It was kind of a gamble to know if this comet would survive passing so close to the sun and survive. But thankfully, it did survive and what a spectacle it is giving us. It might not be as bright as Neowise in 2020, but this time, I have a better camera to capture it and the pictures are just amazing. Too bad the weather was so cloudy this week...

A view looking at the Creux du Van
The anti-tail of the comet is visible in this picture.
And the clouds inevitably come back
And my first attempt at making a night timelapse. Timelapse Video
These pictures and videos were taken with my Fujifilm XT4, with the 18-55 mm or the 50-140 mm Fujinon objectives. Various exposures, mostly just 4 seconds of exposures at a time, with an ISO of 1000 to 2000. And then, I stacked several pictures with Affinity Photo 2 with just a few tweaks of the curve to make it pop a little better. Most of the time, I targeted 30 s of total exposure per final picture. Only for the anti tail picture I stacked almost 40 pictures taken with 5 s of exposure each, making it 200 s of exposure.
