Description

The weather conditions were not super, so I decide to go for a widefield shot of M31 with the Samyang 135mm and the Canon6Da. While developing the image I noticed a small blue-greenisch dot, upper left of M31. I searched SkiSafari and found out it was comet 64P Swift-Gehrels.

A nice surprise.
