Maffei 1

The fearless clown's experiments continue. Everyone can see the mistakes, the focus on the infrared side is lacking, dust on the sensor. Still, the infrared target Maffei 1 emerges from behind the dust and gas of the Milky Way, and even during a full moon.

Almost at the time of the full moon, I tried a trick ;-) To use Planet camera ToupTek 385C, Astronomik ProPlanet 642 filter. You can clearly photograph the comet this way too. Of course in grayscale.
