Comet "Swan"
This needs to be viewed large on black. Even then. it may be difficult to find the comet on this image of the night sky, so I've put a 'note' just below the centre to identify it. For even better viewing of the comet, I've added a cropped image in the PiP at top left (and below), which should help those using phones.
This comet (official title C/2020_F8_SWAN) was discovered in late March. It is not yet visible to the naked eye, so I had to take bearings to find it for this image. Then it was a matter of rising at 0400 on a chilly Autumn morning to catch it just above the eastern horizon before sunrise. It soon will become brighter, but the coming full moon will create sighting difficulties before it passes below the southern hemisphere horizon. Maybe those of you in the north will have a better view later in May. For information on its position, I highly recommend the Heavens Above website.
Taken using the 'Astrotracer' feature on the Pentax K1, to enable long exposure tracking. And, after all that, why not a musical link. :-)

Thanks too for the info here which on looking deeper says this is best observed from your Southern hemisphere.
Keep safe. Herb

tiabunna club has replied to Ko Hummel clubKo Hummel club has replied to tiabunna clubThe comet is quite recognizable even in the main photo, it's colour appears different from the stars.
A very nice picture, and great technical skill to get it!
No doubt it won't be visible to us in the north, as I have heard nothing of it yet.
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
