Comet PanSTARRS long anti-tail and the galactic clouds near Polaris
|
The night May 31 / June 1 was the first one after a period of extremely
bad weather. The image shows
not only the long comet's anti-tail but galactic dust clouds near Polaris
as well. These clouds have very low contrast that is why the CLS filter
was used in order to minimize the influence of light pollution. The unmodified
Canon 5D Mark II with CLS filter has very low red sensitivity. Therefore,
it was not possible to obtain acceptable colors and the image is
presented as B&W.
