Description

I drove 5 hours away from home to find dark clear sky and wait till before dawn . The comet had only few minutes before sunrise and it was very hard to spot it. After struggling with my tracker I finally took few subs for the comet and blend it with the foreground where i stand during Blue hour.
I needed to climb a very steep mountain to catch this image but that worth it 😉.
