We captured new images of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks without any interference from the Moon, using two different instruments. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 7, 180-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with...

We imaged comet 12P/Pons-Brooks again, a few days after its most recent outburst: despite the full Moon, it shows a nice tail. The image above comes from the median combination of 21, 120-second unfiltered...

Here it is comet 12P/Pons-Brooks soon after it started a new outburst, while approaching the Sun. It shows a faint tail. The image above comes from the average of 5, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely...

Here it is comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, while approaching the Sun. It shows a faint tail. The image above comes from the average of 5, 120-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit...

Here it is comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, imaged after its 4th outburst after the July one. The image above comes from the sigma combination of 10, 180-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the Celestron C14+Paramount ME+SBIG...

We observed comet 12P/Pons-Brooks again, to track its evolution after its 5 Oct. bright outburst. As with the July one, the coma expanded significantly. The image above comes from the median combination of 31,...

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks was spotted again in a bright outburst on 5 Oct., after the one in July. Three days later, we captured it under good sky conditions and we see the same horseshoe shape....

We observed comet 12P/Pons-Brooks under very good sky conditions, going quite deep and recording a faint structure in the coma. here we present our image. The image above comes from the median combination of...
