Description

2.3 hours of the green comet passing through Auriga last week; was having trouble developing the tail independently before I realized that when I processed the starfield, there were SO many stars it wouldn't come out, as Auriga is dead in the middle of the milky way and it was passing through the zenith more or less at the time. Such a cool shot (and the official marker for me that comet time is over, now that it is passing out of the solar system for the next eon, and I sigh with relief that I don't need to do more comet processing)
