The Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks was officially documented in 1812 by Jean-Louis Pons and acknowledged in 1883 by William Robert Brooks. But it probably already had been seen in the 14th century. This cyclical comet has an orbital period of about 71 years.
This image was taken right after dawn on March, 8th in 2024, moments before it hides again behind some buildings at my location. This probably had been my only chance to capture it.
