Nikon D750 modded, AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
Panorama 3 blocks @ 70mm: landscape (1x13sec, ISO 2540, f/5.6), sky (1x20sec, ISO 3200, f/2.8), Leonard (85x20sec, ISO 3200, f/2.8 + 45 dark frames, bias, flats)
Here is my first and only attempt at Comet Leonard!
It was from the end of November that I was looking for the ideal weather conditions, but unfortunately it never stopped raining and the sky was always overcast.
I had almost lost hope, but this morning (Friday 10 December) after I woke up at 3.45 AM, I was finally able to take the shot I so wanted to do.
Miraculously the conditions were optimal and Leonard's magnitude was 4.85 (considering the air masses).
I was able to shoot until around 6 AM and eventually I also captured a small thunderstorm along with the twilight lights of dawn.
