A comet ☄️ in a web of Galaxies !
I recently visited Taqwa space observatory, located in Bela, Balochistan which is located in bortle 1 skies being one of the darkest skies of Pakistan.
Being an ardent lover of comets I had a wonderful opportunity of imaging comet 62P/Tsuchinshan against the backdrop of galaxies included in the Markarian Chain/ Virgo cluster of galaxies. I seized this chance and was able to photograph this periodic visitor caught in a web of galaxies and present it to you guys.
Here is comet 62P/Tsuchinshan as captured on the night of 10th February from Bela, Balochistan.
