Last Thursday 9th of December I travelled to Àger (Lleida, Catalonia – Spain) to capture the C/2021 A1 Leonard comet. Night was predicted to be clear. I was capturing the comet with my friend Ignasi Llorens from Agrupació Astronòmica de Sabadell remote observatories.
I captured many 180″ exposures. The image shown is only one single 180″ exposure blended with the landscape layer (same night and location).
