The comet encounters the Orion Nebula

Description and Details: Comet C-2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) quickly intersected with the magnificent M42 Nebula, and it was history.

We at the Itex group captured this magnificent conjunction (they're rare) from the dark sky of the Atacama Desert.

The processing wasn't entirely simple, managing the comet's motion and the nebula's dynamics. After extensive work (both preprocessing and post-processing), we're happy with this result.
