Dear AstroBinners,

I am a beginner in astrophotography, with some basic experience in planetary and DSO imaging/processing.

The other day, I saw this gorgeous image of a comet, and that's when I decided I want to try imaging one.

My question is very simple - are there any comets available for imaging right now? (I am located in the Northern Hemisphere)

12P/Pons-Brooks is the brightest right now. Being an interesting target at different focal lenghts.
