Description

Some images turn out very differently than planned. This one made me scratch my head for a good 30 minutes.

I was trying to image a comet just below the quarter moon. I thought there might be some effect from the offscreen moon, but I wasn't expecting multiple rainbows!

Then there are the horizontal lines. They are from the flats I took at the end of the session. I have no idea what caused them. The resulting effect reminds me of those old CRT TVs.

The resultig image was so strange, I thought it was worth sharing.
