Description

Somewhat spontaneous capture of C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS) between M109 and NGC 3953, taken very narrowly through trees and with significant help from gradient reduction to remove all the leaves thanks to AstroFlat Pro and support from the folks on CloudyNights!

I was planning to do a hi-res image of M109 on the RC8, but when I saw that the comet was so close (as were the trees!), I immediately switched to widefield with the RASA8!
