Description

Image taken somewhere around August 20, 1989 with an SMC Pentax 200mm F/2.5 on Hypered TP2415 film. Exposure time unknown.

The streaks are caused by passing clouds.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the position of the comet.

According to Guide9, the comet should be below the frame...

I guess something is wrong with the orbital elements for 23P.
