Description

This was imaged from about 8000 ft from a dark site and I was impressed to see how spread out the dust tail was. I battled 20-30mph winds plus frequent mid and high clouds. This image was only about 10 subs as the rest all had some sort of mid-level clouds, thus it's a little noisy. Halos are around brighter stars due to high clouds. Subs were 20 seconds using a Rokinon 135mm at f/2. Don't look too close at the stars in the upper left as there was a bit of tilt that I did not have time to adjust.
