(1/6) Background: Pulsation timing is a cool technique where pulsations of a star are leveraged as an astrophysical clock. If the pulsator is orbited by an unseen companion, the light arrival time from the pulsator will change as it moves towards and away from the observer.

Comet A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Timelapse ☄️
I've been photographing this comet for the past couple days, and I've been blown away by how bright it is. Can't wait to get back out for more tonight!
Location: Queensland, Australia
Equipment: Sony A7IV with 100mm lens, tracked.
