Description

Taken under a close final quarter moon with high cirrus clouds interfering and creating a fascinating coronae around very bright Arcturus

The image of Arcturus has been made using the full stack of 58 frames. The comet on the other hand was isolated from the only 9 clear sky frames acquired right at the end of the session. For this reason the comet is noisier than I would have liked .
