19 April 2020

Comet C2020 F8 (SWAN01) was discovered in early April 2020. It was roughly 180 million kilometers from Earth when I photographed it. I got an opportunity on the early morning of 19th April 2020 to image it, although the low altitude, nearby crescent moon and high clouds limited my results. I managed a single half-decent 10 minute exposure. I used PHD2 to track on the actual comet path, leading to the appearance of trailing stars in this image.
