Description

Clearing skies from the afternoon's thunderstorms afforded a fine evening of capturing comet 13P/ Olbers.  Stacking 30 minutes worth of subs, any more and tail structure would have suffered, shows the comet experiencing twists and knots.  The comet reminds me of a face down skeletal specter showing it's ever changing shape shift.  I'm still trying to adjust the computer monitor for optimal post - not there yet.
