While getting ready to image C/2022 E3 on January 9, 2023, I had some time to wait for it to rise above my tree line and so I decided to go after the other bright comet in my skies, C/2020 V2, which I have been following (and imaging) for awhile. Interestingly enough I think I read in one of my astro magazines that there are 11 comets in the sky right now. I'll need to go and check that, and maybe I might decide to capture them all (or maybe not!)
C/2020 V2 has been in the sky for awhile, and is still well placed in the north, hanging around the north star.
So here is C/2020 V2 with my OSC - no filters - plenty of light pollution to deal with. Image was cropped for the final photo.
