This comet was discovered in 1812 by Mr. Pons and later rediscovered in 1883 by Mr. Brooks, hence its name “Pons Brooks” in honour of these two people.
Comets follow an orbit around the sun that can take years to traverse, in the case of this comet, the orbital period is short and equates to about 71.4 years.
The fascinating thing about taking pictures of a comet is that you will probably never see it again, so we could say that these are once-in-a-lifetime events.
In the coming months this comet will come closer to the sun, so its brightness will increase and it will be visible to the naked eye. Now with the help of binoculars you can see it in the sky.
Take advantage of these days if the weather allows it, because then the moon and its orbit will be lower and lower as the day lengthens, making it more difficult to capture it even though its brightness will increase.
