Astrophotographer captures stunning images of Devil’s Comet over Oregon coast (photos)
Oregon coast photographer Jeremy Likness of Newport captured specular shots of the Devil’s Comet, aka Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, from Otter Rock last Sunday, March 31, 2024. To capture the stellar images on a specialized astronomy camera, Likness wrote on Facebook, “I chose a configuration that images 25 times faster than my ordinary setup, capturing 10, 15, and 30-second exposures of the comet at 510 mm focal length and f/2. The 42-minute exposure happened when the comet was passing near the bright star Hamal that glitters like a diamond in the lower corner.”
