Beautiful Comet Nishimura

As seen on Astronomy Picture Of the Day. From the photographer: “On Sept. 9th, 2023, we could look for a brighter morning comet C/2023 P1 Nishimura, discovered on 12 August by Hideo Nishimura from Japan. As the comet was getting closest to the Sun (which happened on 17th September), it was getting brighter and making the comet an easier target for nightscape photography. In the morning, I was successful from Zahradne, Slovakia, where the comet appeared against the little bit cloudy sky. Its tail is so bright that even in the backyard telescope I could enjoy it in almost full field of view. In the wide-angle view, bright Venus (and surrounded by atmospheric corona) and Praesepe cluster over eastern Slovakia (with Zadňa Hura and Veľká hora hills in the distance). Unfortunately, the comet is harder to observe any next morning, so I am truly happy I made it at least once to see this beauty!”

Canon Ra, Tamron 70-200mm (set to 200mm), f2.8, ISO 800, 10x20s. A wide angle was taken with Sigma 50mm, f2.0, 15s.
